I think that I want to alternate Loving Kindness Meditation and Calming Anxiety Meditation. And I think that I'll make them a half-hour because half-hour meditations seem to work really well for me.

I bid on another cilantro plant on eBay. This time, I'll bring it inside if it gets really hot out. (Cilantro is safe for cats.)

I had a headache near the end of my work day, so I lay down. Maybe someday I won't have a headache when piano class is going on.

I looked up a recipe for a poke bowl. It needs sushi-grade tuna, so I'll need to wait until I move to Champaign, where I'll also be able to get poke bowls in restaurants. But I'm kind of liking making restaurant meals at home.

Took a nap and slept through until morning.

The need for sushi-grade fish is what keeps me from making poke bowls at home, even though I love them.

Yeah. Champaign has Asian markets, so I'm hoping that they would have appropriate tuna.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. I'd need to drive at least an hour to find it which means it isn't really an option for dinner most of the time.

Half hour sessions seem to be the right spot for me as well (especially on weekdays) I've been doing mindfulness meditation for the most part, recently started adding loving kindness. It's very different from anything I've done before.

Do you think that the loving-kindness meditation helps?

It's a world of difference from mindfulness meditation. It's like working a different part of my mind. I definitely feel more patient and compassionate following the days that I do my metta practice. It took a while for me to really notice the difference in me though.
