lol, I on the other hand have nearly no fingernails. And, I am sitting slouched over the coffee table as we speak.
Ikea furniture is fun, and then frustrating, and then often fabulously well designed. A few years ago my coach insisted I invest in a real desk to help me become saner and more organized. I've never been sorry.
meditation! what a good idea! I only grab little bits of time for it.
heh - it's really amazing to me what a difference my work posture is making for my mood. it may just be the novelty of the furniture, but I really think I'll improve mood AND productivity now!
So many hugs to you!! I wish you a nice calm weekend and bowls and bowls of only the most delicious, nourishing and gentle breen straight from the homeworld.
thanks so much! I may need to consider alternatives to meditation, because right now it only seems to make me dizzy and a bit more tense than before. I'd like to start swimming again, so I'm looking into the local pool schedules. :)
Free form meditation has always been a time for my ruminative thought to run wild with me, rather than a relaxing refreshing time. Not so enlightening as I am generally keeeenly aware of what's eating my insides (because of the aforementioned ruminative thought process). Guided mediation (nearly typo-ed "medication" HA -- that too) works somewhat better for me, because it's distracting. But the best way I've found to refresh and regroup and get a new perspective is an engrossing piece of fiction that sweeps me up in its world. Which season 3 B5 totally is, so bravo for finding your way there

yeah, when I meditate I get this dizzy feeling like the top of my skull is coming off, and it's not really that fun. I feel worse when I'm done. I may just not be used to the practice, but it's really not always a great relaxer.
I'm going to go back to a psychologist, if I can find one, so we'll see what happens with medication / treatment.
I'm proud of your efforts on the fingernails and your GI health. Now. I wonder if you're making too many commitments. Maybe you should ease off. Your art should be relaxing and fun, not a source of stress! I know you /want/ to do art, but too much of a good thing is never good. Or something. Hard to be coherent at 5:40am!
the funny thing is that I have a lot fewer commitments than usual, it's just that I did not anticipate how much time I would need to put into the Con and my house and stuff. I deliberately cut back on my art stuff in the last few months, so I could do things that I wanted to do, but it's backfired because of the move.
Oh, well. I've not got many art things going on after this, and the deadlines are spread out. I think that once the Con is over, things will ease up a lot. And next year, if I do this job or something else with the Con, I'll know better how to handle it and prepare.
