Time to time, I feel a little headache on the right side of my head, at the temple height. While it took quite some time to me realize the cause, the solution was simple and fast. All I needed was some peace of mind.
In this world, where everyone is immersed into a whole world of floating and annoying data - from advertisements, merchandising etc - our minds are always full, either because of the lack of milk in the refrigerator or because our mobile data in near its end. A headache, the distraction, and even the anxiety may be caused by that huge amount of data in our mind. It is simply not healthy to our brain.
When I realized that, I started searching for ways I could reverse that problem and, surprisingly, I found a lot of ways I could handle these situations and many people with the same problems. First, I stop worrying about 'timelines' so much, be the Facebook timeline or the DC universal timeline - you simply cannot handle those things.
I got books, some in Portuguese, others in English and they helped a lot. They show me how those concerns can swallow us and lead us to an unhealthy path. One of those, that I recommend is the amazing
'Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World' by Mark Williams and Danny Penman. They helped me to understand our mind operations and how I could manage them, not living as my thoughts will but consciously manage them.
Nevertheless, something was missing, I needed a daily help, something that guides me in the daily bases. While nuzzling around Apple Store, I found what I needed with beautiful cartoons animations and an astonishing design.
While I do meditate and practice mindfulness along the day, the Headspace guided meditations helped me to engage in a meditation routine. Although I am not in daily with it or, better saying, I do not create a meditation routine yet, with Headspace is easier to try. I already started it two times - I am such a lazy ass - and I will end their 10-days program in days to come. I hope you enter this one with me. I am sharing the link here, if you use it I will a whole bag of nothing :D Just sharing what helped me. Let's everyone get our headspace back.
