That reminds me of something, too. When I’m trying to calm my mind and something keeps distracting me, I acknowledge it, pay attention to it and then move back to pay attention to my breathing.

I don’t close my eyes, though, I just let my vision unfocus and sort of zone out. I’ll have to try it with my eyes closed next time. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have a couple things I do when I want to relax. One is to pay attention to sounds. There are always at least six I can identify.
The next is to pay attention to the sense of touch. Feet in shoes, tongue on teeth, elbow on table. There’s way more than six to pay attention to.
I’m going to add breathing.
Best with eyes closed if you can get away with it.

Indeed.

To roughly quote my teacher when I’d get too distracted or frantic – “breathing, posture, small movements. Everything else will come in time”

Something I need to remind myself of too often lately heh.

It’s funny you mention Io, because I started by doing the same thing in writing my T-SQL Tuesday blog last week, but I went in another direction instead.

In researching her, I found that when Hera forced Io to wander the earth as a cow, one of the areas she wandered was in the Istanbul Strait, also known as the Bosphorus. The name Bosphorus was named after her, coming from the Greek work Bosporos, made up of the words bous, meaning ox or cow, and poros, meaning shallow sea passage or strait or ford. So you could conceivably say that Bosphorus is translated as ox-ford or Oxford.

Anyway, I enjoyed reading your post… Loved the turtles picture.

You know how to cut to the core of me Baxter… You’re so wise, like a miniature buddha, covered in hair.

A good read as it is blunt and to the point. I fall in the category of getting distracted, quite often.

Looks like there’s a lot of platters on those turtles all the way down…
