Thinking (and talking) in the shower

Some mornings (most?) as I lather up in the shower, my mind begins to think of what I will be doing, or, frequently, what has been bothering me. I notice that I talk as if I’m talking to another person – typically someone that has been bothering me.

I know that this brings negative energy, but I wonder why it feels “good” to me to get this off my chest?  Maybe it doesn’t, maybe it’s just bringing more of what I don’t want. So, how do I stop this?

One way is to think of the good people and those that have helped you in your life.  I sometimes have to mindfully focus to move that energy pattern from the victim mentality to the peace, love and acceptance mentality.  It’s hard.

But, let’s not be too hard on ourselves either. There’s no such thing as perfection.

And, there’s no such thing as bad meditation.
