I seem to have taken up meditation again

February 23rd, 2014

The image is mine I chose it cause its relaxing 😀 

I have this bad habit when I’m stressed. It annoys me and it’s not helpful when I get stressed I buy self-help books and I hate them. Well I am at the start of a pretty huge masters project  and by pretty huge I mean redonkulous  and instead of buying a self-help book (because I am cash poor at the moment )I seem to have started meditating again.  I hate to say this time it’s different but I am doing it keeping the sessions short. 10 minutes and trying to keep it on the kind of mindfulness way where you just focus on your breathing.
Now here’s the different bit usually by minute four I’m getting antsy and bored. If I’m listening to a guided meditation tape I find it awkward or annoying 
I hate the guide’s voice or the background sounds.  This sit there and breath and let thoughts go method I’m not having that. By minute 8 I seem to settle. Pictures float through my head and float off. And I seem to come into an empty space.  it’s nice almost like sleep  which I don’t think I’m getting enough of at the moment 
I can’t attest to any of the other benefits of meditation but for the moment I’m willing to keep it up.

There’s a good bit of other stuff going on. my second pitch was last night  I decided to re-pitch my original idea bit answer some of the points they raise if it gets the go ahead I can really get to work (read bankrupting myself for an oculus rift )

There is a lot going on. I am getting a handle on working on 3d modelling and reliving my final year in college working on steering behaviours.

Yay steering behaviours

I haven’t run properly in a while. I tried to run last Sunday and felt so sick and it looks like I won’t get to run tonight. I’m refusing to feel guilty. I will pick up where I left off on Friday if I don’t get to do it tonight.

 

I’m still working my way through house of leaves. A difficult book though it is brilliant. It seems to get under my skin.  And infect my dreams. The kind of thing that a good book should be doing.

 

I will be posting up a few pictures of the 3d work I have done so far. I do enjoy it but it can be a slow process especially texturing. But it might come in handy when I get a 3d printer funny how in my head that isn’t an if. 
I will get a 3d printer some day and then it will be tiny figurines everywhere.Currently I am looking at the peachy printer. its cheap chearful and in beta
