What a night for The Gunners in Monaco. I really do love this Arsenal squad. We were sooooo close :o Ah well.

It was a shame and they deserved to go through. Plus I'd have liked to have seen them distracted from the PL!;)

I have been trying to practise Mindfulness recently to control all the thoughts which race around my head, and have been finding this useful.

I have now been introduced to Self Compassion, which is very interesting indeed. So, when I do indulge in too much wine, I am trying to use this, rather than completely berating myself for letting myself down etc :T

That sounds interesting Pricey. Are you learning from books or classes or....?


Another planned for me today. That might be it now until next week but I am pleased with myself. Target in view and plenty of month left despite all the socialising round my birthday.


8AFDs please Shaggy.

No, Maman, I was talking about Mindfulness to my sister, who is a psychologist, and she mentioned Self Compassion as being the latest idea, connected to Mindfulness. Then I mentioned it to my youngest daughter, studying Philosophy, and she knows all about both too, so just did a bit of reading about it on the internet. Basically, I think it is not being too hard on yourself - reacting to your own mistakes with the compassion which you would show to somebody else :cool:

13/21 AFDs now, and my holidays start tomorrow so I'll catch up with all your successes next week.


Pricey I'll also be googling self-compassion. I often think about the commandment "love thy neighbour as thyself", as I wouldn't be mean (unloving) to my neighbour, so why am I mean (unloving) to myself?
