As I might have mentioned my therapist has encouraged me to use mindfulllness (Just focusing on breathing, or even say your foot and listen deeply noting sounds around you). He encourages it to be done with open eyes and to simply take note of all the things in your environment. I think ther whole point he's getting me to do this is to stop me getting stuck in my head and to be more aware of externalities.

I've nevrr really done this as "dedicated" medication - more done it in short bursts for a few minutes at a time but might try initially doing it for 10 minutes.

Does anybody do this simply sitting in a chair or even lying down? (Kinda hard doing it lying down with your eyes open focusing on your surrundings if your staring at the ceiling lol).
