Hello my Dear :)

I might be dealing with things completely wrong...

I am very glad that in this sentence you put "I might" , because this tells me you are evaluating your own coping strategies. I would not like to think that my readers think that what I present here is the right way of doing things :) Please always keep this is mind, this is a space where I deliver various psychological approaches to dealing with emotional distress; some people will identify more with a certain approach, others with another. Or even better, we all identify with some parts of each one! This is my case, by the way, I like and dislike all psychological approaches.

And to be honest, someone who has the sort of reflection that I am going to quote below, seems to have already in place the most effective way of dealing with their own stress:

The things that may "bother" me are not even worth mentioning in the end. They can mostly be dealt with, with a decent amount of patience and the rest is the way it is.

But, of course, even though you have found your own efficient way of dealing with your daily stress you are also aware that we are all in the making, always learning. That is why you come here and dissect my content and raise many interesting questions :)

And of course, in psychology, meditation is all about focus and attention. So, yes, whether you are washing your hands, brushing your teeth or even eating; paying attention to, let's say, the running water, the movements of your hands etc ... that is meditation. You, I believe, meditate every time you embark on a project, I can only imaging how meditative your job is. This is one of the reasons why you are so full of gratitude, love and contentment :)

All the best to you and to your family.
I wish you all a wonderful week :)
