Last night I had a really good meditation with my partner - that time I deliberately recalled negative thoughts I'd had during the day and got rid of them. This morning, lo and behold - no negative thoughts. That was until I got out and about. I got all sorts of negative thoughts about silly things. Therefore, this time I had an idea - write them all down so they could be eliminated in group meditation. In fact, just the act of writing them down helped a lot. I was able to eliminate it all in group meditation.
I'd written previously about long distance relationships and one of the tips was making videos. I discarded the minds I had about being overly perfectionist about them and as a result, had a lot more fun. For me, my perfectionism and negative thoughts are strongly related. In fact, the 'fun' made it into today and even the meditations I was doing! To avoid attachment, I had to keep reminding myself that the Universe was giving me treats, not me.
