I was dreading going back to work today. I was feeling very anxious this whole weekend and I avoided doing my meditation and other activities the whole time. Instead I was dreaming up the worst possible scenario and it wasn't even close to what actually happened. Work was light like always and the day went by pretty quickly. All this makes me realize more that I need to really get control of myself when I'm feeling stressed and anxious. I tend to remove myself from my responsibilities and this causes even more stress because I know I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do.
I still need to do the body scan on a daily basis and I did manage to start with that again and I found myself feeling very relaxed after I was done. I still tend to fall asleep but I'm working on getting that under control. I think I find it difficult to stay awake because of my newborn son, he wakes up many times during the night and in turn keeps my wife and I awake all the time.
I did the 10 minute mindfull breathing exercise today and that was really relaxing. I plan on using this sitting mindfull breathing exercise more often as I go through my day and encounter panic attacks.
