Getting better

[Teagan Heart]

Well, I still have to say that I need work. My daydreaming is an ongoing thing that I have to use a lot of strength to fight. It’s hard for me because at the moment, I just go to work and go back home. I really don’t have that much going on right now, so I’m am desperately looking for something to interest me in the real world. It affects me when I am at work. I can still function, but I really appreciate NOT having this problem AT ALL. But what I did today actually helped. I like to call it putting my brain on shutdown. It's hard to do, but if you keep on focusing on it, it gets better. I just think about nothing. If it's not there, I work hard not to force it to be there. I just concentrate on what I am doing and leave the rest to God. I'm not perfect, but those of you, who are spiritual, please keep me in your prayers, and I will definitely keep you in mine. Thank you so much.

That sounds a great idea. Sometimes when you don't know what to say to God it is good to have something in your memory to say. I guess the old prayer books are good for that.

Take care Teagan and Roxanne. xo

Prayer does work, but I learned that you have to be patient and wait on God to help you. He knows what He's doing. But thanks, we'll keep each other in prayer.

I often say the Rosary, Divine Mercy and other prayers.  They are sort of ritual prayers that you commit to memory & can say over & over.  It really calms the brain, as well as distracts.  I don't know if non-Catholics have something similar.

[Teagan Heart]

Set prayers? You mean like things that I have committed to memory and say to God on a daily basis? That does sound smart though. Tell me what you mean.

[roxanne]

You are in my prayers.

Do you have any set prayers to say?  Sometimes I find them very helpful in quieting my mind.  It works better than meditation for me.
