can’t meditate my butt is still sore from practice
Quote from redrose1969 on July 14, 2019, 9:54 pmok so i tried to meditate last night like everyone says is good for stress but my glutes were on fire from sprints. i only have twenty minutes between dinner and putting the kids to bed. it was 830 pm and i was sitting on a cushion from the target that cost twelve dollars. i could not focus at all. every time i tried to clear my head i just thought about how much ibuprofen i had taken. i feel like a failure because i cant even do this basic wellness thing. my coach says recovery is mental too but my mind is just loud and my butt hurts. i am so tired of trying to be perfect at everything. does anyone else struggle with this or am i just doing it wrong? what should i do?

Quote from Calmocean1965 on November 3, 2019, 4:26 pmHonestly I just survived on cheap coffee and silence first few months. Stop trying to be productive. My in laws still call daily so i muted their numbers. Go walk outside even if just around block. Eat whatever you want no guilt. One day at a time. If crying helps do it. Dont force yourself to be happy yet. Just exist.

Quote from Freedream1989 on July 28, 2019, 10:00 amfr though i see why you’re mad tbh. Lol, i turned twenty and he bought me those overpriced candles instead of the matcha kit i literally printed out and emailed him. i didn’t make a huge deal of it, but my internal monologue was screaming. it’s not the gift, it’s the fact that he keeps missing the small things that actually make me feel seen. ugh.

Quote from gloria1976 on August 30, 2020, 5:33 pmHoney that is just hard. I told my man if he keeps doing that I am sitting down. I dont cook clean and raise kids alone. We made a schedule last Sunday after service. He does dishes and laundry I do dinner. If he complains I tell him to talk to my sister. Yall gotta make him pull his weight.

Quote from Lisa1991 on April 7, 2020, 8:55 ammy husband used to think sex was a daily maintenance task. we compromised on wednesdays and sundays. honestly the rest of the week I just wanted horizontal time. if he cant get off to schedule tell him the bedroom is closed for renovation until further notice. sleep is non negotiable for me now.

Quote from Coveswamp on April 13, 2020, 6:14 pmHonest truth is most of us are faking it. I used to think sleep fixed everything until I got my iron and vitamin D levels checked. Turns out I was just running on empty. Eight hours of sleep doesnt help if your body is fighting a deficiency. Go see a doctor and ask for blood work before buying another fancy pillow.

Quote from Peakfog on July 19, 2020, 5:24 pmHonestly same. I stopped trying to force the whole sanctuary vibe and just do five mins of stretching while my niece naps nearby. No chanting, no candles, just breathing. If I miss a day, I don't guilt trip myself. Sometimes spirituality is just showing up tired and dealing with it. Keep it simple sis, your soul gets it.
