Be the Mask
I have a saying I use when I need to focus my mind and ignore a consistent annoyance, ‘be the (issue)'. We have some bugs where I live that come about in the summertime called Gnats, and they annoy me beyond words. So, when we are outside enjoying the weather and they are persistently plaguing us, I say to my kids 'be the Gnats' and they try to focus their minds through deep breathing on our activities and less on the Gnats. So, now COVID-19 has changed our lives and our minds struggle to develop new habits like wearing masks and social distancing. Both are incredibly challenging for me because I am Jamaican and we are expressive with nods, touches, jabs and pokes and a very interactive hello, but I'm learning. You see I am mindful of the pandemic's reality even though I have no fear in it. My attention or you can say my faith is placed on being proactive to boost the spiritual and immunological aspect of the members of my household. So, prayer, diet, exercise, water, detoxing, and lots of sun are our priority. But we do not ignore precautions and the law.

Gratitude Walk
I have a very analytical mind which means it's running all the time analyzing every aspect of life. So when I need to excape my mind for a bit it's always good to do so with a walk. When I was younger if I was really upset or had a problem I would usually go for a walk and by the end of the walk I felt better or better yet I had a solution. Evidently there is some science behind focusing on the eviroment around you to engage your mind in a bit of focused meditation. But I am no scientist so I can only tell you my experience. I know when I would walk I would focus on the beat of the music and keeping that pace. When I would walk for long distances I would just focus on the beauty of nature around me to distract my body from how many more miles I had to go if my body was tired. These days walking is a daily thing I do to get my ideas together and come up with plans. Or even just to unload all the work stuff of the day. I prefer walks these days because it allows me to observe my enviroment more intently. It allows me to do what most people suggest but never do and that is to actually stop and smell the flowers, which is acutally quite lovely if you feel so inclined. Also I have my walks that are purely medatative and help me release stress and figure out my issues.

Did you know about mirrors?
In ancient Greece, "magic" mirrors were used by the witches of Thessaly in the 3rd century BC. These priestesses wrote their predictions in blood. Mirrors were also used by specularii, an order of priests from classical Rome who claimed to be able to see the past, present and future in these objects.

Imagine you are Lost
Let’s go for a walk. Put on your shoes and head outside. But now, as you begin to leave your home in the distance, imagine that you are no longer in your familiar neighborhood. You are no longer just a few steps away from your front door. Think about a city or town that you have always wanted to travel to, a place that is unfamiliar to you, where you don’t speak the language and you don’t know anyone. Do you have a place in mind? Now, imagine you are lost on the streets of that city or town. Stop walking and close your eyes for a moment. Imagine the street in front of you. Don’t worry about making it true to real life. However you imagine this place to look is how it will look for this meditation. Get a clear picture in your mind. Are there tall buildings? Maybe there are small houses. Are there plants around you? What about the street below your feet. Is it made of pavement? Cobblestone? Gravel? Now turn your head upwards. Is it daytime or night? Cloudy or sunny? Create a picture of the street you are about to walk down. Focus on it. Now, open your eyes, and continue walking.

Life with Fibromyalgia
Sometimes you see ads for medications about migraines, heart problems, and so many other disorders or illnesses. I can’t remember if I have ever seen one for fibromyalgia, but I can remember the handful of articles about which celebrities have it. And on paper it looks like this small thing that just means you’re in pain and you can take whatever medications and life goes back to normal as if there is nothing wrong. I hate to say it... but that is a very painful lie.
