First, its great having the Dacher CD to assist with practice. Whether its in my computer, my CD player at the gym, or my CD player in my car, I'm able to take a couple of minutes, relax, get focused, and process those thoughts, negative or positive. I find the sounds of the ocean so soothing as I find Hawaii my happy place. Also my Hawaiian music CD is not too far away. During the day, I can keep on track, stress less, energized, and positive in my patient or family approaches. I find the Loving-Kindness and the Subtle Mind mental fitness activity to be most useful and beneficial. Both are simple in utilizing breathing to handle distractions, negative or positive ones.
For example, last week, my son, in between jobs and possible Army enlistment, and ADHD in the past, finally took us, his parents, up on a suggestion, that if "he had a plan, we would all work it out". Over 8 years ago, when he left home, because of his distract ability and hyperactivity, we all did not get along. My practice for mental fitness, using Loving-Kindness, dramatically helped me through all my animosity and found my week with my son productive and fun. We truly enjoyed each other's company. I'm proud, regardless of being employed or not, has kept his chin up and continues to be a great father to his children. I'm impressed and proud that he has decided to become a soldier and protect our country.
Respectfully, Steve Tardy
