I may have said this before, but as a fellow Type A, I highly recommend meditation. I started doing this after I was injured and couldn’t sit down without severe pain for a year and my physical therapist recommended it.
I have had really good results with the Headspace app, particularly the course called “Acceptance.” I learned a lot about myself with that one.
I am never going to be great at getting my busy little brain to get off the hamster wheel for long, but working on it through meditation is something I really wish I had known about much earlier.
I always feel better afterwards, so there’s that!
