Relaxation techniques....

[Satty]

Oy, I cannot turn my mind off tonight. My wife gave me a back rub while telling me awful jokes, and that didn't help. I think I'm going to go for a jog.

These involved threads where a problem is stated... never seem to get resolved WRT the OP's condition.

3 years later, Olds- how's it goin' ??

BTW- Camino's relaxation post is something I've been doing (on occasion) since I was around 20. I thought I invented it. >:/

The Meditation Podcast

episodes 2 and 6

really helped to get me through my bad patch

I'm doing great!

Good to hear. I might try some of that out, but stuff

like that doesn't ever seem to work on me.

I'm curious about hypnosis- seems interesting if maliable,

and I recently found out in a roundabout manner that

I may be a good candidate.

You should see the twisted, horrible thing I was watching

earlier on youtube- my son pointed me to it and he couldn't

sit thru it all. I could, nothing's too dark for me, but

now I'm wondering if it is going to haunt meanyway- I have to

go to sleep now, and that's seldom a balanced, happy, peaceful

world. I usually have to claw my way out until my fingers bleed.

Sorry, Olds; got carried away! Nighty-nite!

The gymnasium still helps, but only if I go. I used to be motivated to go Mon-Wed-Fri evenings after work, then Sat-Sun early afternoons. Lately my routine has been totally blown and I go on random weekday evenings and no weekends. Blah, out of synch makes me feel worse.

New door frame chin-up bar helps some though. I can feel it through the whole upper half of myself. Gotta keep that up.

Plus I have a new favorite pron site for those times when everything's pent up.
