&lt;br /&gt;
Imagine that you have a big switch on the side of your head. Now grab hold of it and twist it to the &quot;OFF&quot; position and take a deep breath. Now imagine that turning the off switch simply puts a closure on the working day. It&#39;s like a big full stop. New sentence......the other part of your life. Get on with the present and stop worrying about the past.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stillmindonline.blogspot.com/feeds/8825248282317452773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://stillmindonline.blogspot.com/2010/03/long-tiring-day.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/554240375901895641/posts/default/8825248282317452773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/554240375901895641/posts/default/8825248282317452773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stillmindonline.blogspot.com/2010/03/long-tiring-day.html' title='A Long Tiring Day'/><author><name>stillmind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09542944054624998074</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554240375901895641.post-1012183758013019186</id><published>2010-03-24T03:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-24T03:17:38.298-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Another Busy Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;span&gt;&lt;iframe align=&quot;left&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=stillmind&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=B001RNP2FC&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Well, another busy day almost over.

If you have to, go the bathroom and just sit for a few moments with your eyes closed. Taking slow breaths, count slowly backwards from five. Five.....four....three...two ..slow doooown.....one. Now, slowly count up to ten, three times while gently breathing, just short easy breaths. Do the counting in your head, not out loud. Open your eyes and just smile to yourself. You have just completed the &quot;thirty second&quot; meditation.&lt;br /&gt;
It really helps make a tough day at the office a whole lot easier.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stillmindonline.blogspot.com/feeds/889679838064206737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://stillmindonline.blogspot.com/2010/03/thirty-second-meditation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/554240375901895641/posts/default/889679838064206737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/554240375901895641/posts/default/889679838064206737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stillmindonline.blogspot.com/2010/03/thirty-second-meditation.html' title='Thirty Second Meditation.'/><author><name>stillmind</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09542944054624998074</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554240375901895641.post-6321175050083628965</id><published>2010-03-22T02:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-22T02:43:24.814-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Stillmind Online - Back On Line</title><content type='html'>&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Meditation-Beginners-Maritza/dp/B00006HAX2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=stillmind&amp;amp;link_code=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Meditation for Beginners&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=stillmind&amp;amp;l=btl&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B00006HAX2&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Meditation-Beginners-Maritza/dp/B00006HAX2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=stillmind&amp;amp;link_code=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Meditation for Beginners&quot; src=&quot;http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&amp;amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;amp;WS=1&amp;amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;amp;ASIN=B00006HAX2&amp;amp;tag=stillmind&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=stillmind&amp;amp;l=bil&amp;amp;camp=213689&amp;amp;creative=392969&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B00006HAX2&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Hello everyone.
