i spent over four hours at a local coffee shop yesterday emailing and researching our upcoming trip to OZ & south korea. i'm very excited! i'm trying to stay in the moment outside of this computer screen. i've been staring at this glowing screen for so long that when i stand up to walk to the bathroom, i forget where i am. by staying in the moment, i take pause to hear the sounds around me, smell the smells around me, and try to remain being the witness to my physical body.
it's challenging being the witness because i am so easily over stimulated. i can't play music, write and talk to someone at the same time with out getting slightly freaked out. too much input while trying to output words. a glass of wine thrown into that mix doesn't help calm the stimulation, either. even though alcohol dulls the senses, that's not the same effect as being detached enough from your gross bodily experiences enough to stay internally calm.
