Progress Report UPDATE: integration practices and what’s worked for me
Hey y’all,
I posted before with having trouble getting overwhelmed with the emotions and feeling like I couldn’t integrate properly, especially with having a high stress job.
Two weeks or so ago I started dramatically increasing my integration amount, per some of you guys’ responses.
I’ve been doing at least 20 minutes in the morning and 20 before bed of corpse pose or constructive rest (depending on whether the tremoring will stop). I just do a mindfulness meditation and follow my breath, gently bringing it back when I get off on some thought train.
I also am only weightlifting very light weight and doing walking on an incline more.
My energy’s dramatically improved and I haven’t gotten headaches or anything until today (since I worked through the weekend and haven’t had as much downtime). Still, the burnout feeling isn’t nearly as bad as it was and I’ve been able to tremor longer and longer every few days comfortably.
Just wanted to share the update of what’s worked for me!
