Penelope,
Using your 17 second challenge has made me more aware of my thoughts throughout the day---as in, "everyone has 17 seconds"-.
I was able to get to the 17sec+ (have also been doing noon time class on mediation), but even more so than that by you suggesting that simple technique allows me to incorporate it more often throughout the day.
You are able to come up with simple and catchy phrases to EASILY remember which enables the implementation.
The ones I particularly like:
-Thinking of ones thoughts as a tape-cd-iPod
- Pushing the pause button on it
- Becoming aware of the complaining version/track of your iPod
-Do not try to push the thoughts out of your head as this will only intensive and make them stay. The opposite of what one intends.
Your insights and timing really dissect and distill a sometimes nebulous concept into helpful techniques to use.
Keep it up!
