Time of day: 5:45 PM EST
Location: carpeted floor of my bedroom
Distractions: cats; cats playing with my feet; cats eating my pillow; cold temperature; feeling like I needed to shower very badly; knowing I had other activities on the agenda tonight; feeling like I'd left work too early
Words on tape that caught my attention: stillness, peace
Wandering thoughts: all over the place - blogging and having this little template for my body scan recaps, what I needed to do tonight, my cats and how they were reacting to this, how cool the speakers my boyfriend got me are to listen to the meditation on
Sensations experienced: tingling in fingers, some neck stiffness
Comments: I consider this a pretty gargantuan failure. I wasn't concentrating hardly at all. I was bored, I felt that the tape was too long. I was anticipating things he'd say, this being my 3rd time listening to this. I even got up a few minutes before the end! That said, I found a couple of good moments. This was probably not a good time of day to do it - also, I probably should have just showered first, since I was not able to successfully distract myself from my perceived need to shower. I also plan to make sure I am covered with a blanket or am otherwise not fixating on being cold next time.
