mid-day stress meditation

AMHAMH
edited December 2011 in Meditation
Oh dear, it is one of those days. So I could really use the mid-day whatever to meditate. I am finding (as I am sure most of you have jobs that are similar) that there is no way to step out once the ball gets rolling at work. So if you need a break then it just gets worse instead of better. There is a mid-day meditation in denver that I have never gotten to, every week has added meetings and trainings over and over. Argh. I am thinking about just forcing the issue and saying I am going once a week, and piss off. I have so much of my day that is interruptions with crisis that it seems impossible to get away, yet also even more important.

    Is there a quiet spot outdoors around your workplace where you could go for a 15-minute break, and meditate or do Chi Gong? An escape hatch? You must get a lunch period. You're not required to be on-site for lunch are you? Wise of you to know you need to build in self-care and sanity breaks during the day. :)

    Go sit in the bathroom for 10 mins and pretend to poop. That's enough time to center and generate some calm and no one will ever question you.

    Ah, the I'm-so-desperate-I'll-take-anything escape hatch. It's true, at least no one will bother you there, unless there's a line to use the faculty loo. It makes my suggestion of finding a tree to stand under look hopelessly unrealistic and dreamy. :s

    That's a good idea. Thanks. I might just try that.

    @still_learning Are you new here? Welcome. :) There are too many new people flooding in, I can't keep up.

    Actually I joined about more than a year ago. I just keep forgetting to check in, I don't come here as often as I wanted to. I don't post often. I read much more than I post.

    hmm, good ideas. Feeling the need for a boost that is really awesome, ya know how sometimes you need the support of the right cushion or a sangha?

    Well my day continued, I ended up cancelling things and rushing around just to deal with a supervisor that i supervise who could not handle staff eating some food before kids were in program. he talked to them and then called me and then called my sueprvisor over a freakin' hand full of french fries.

    Okay going back to compassion, I am sure he is this way because he did not have a quality after school program like ours, lalalala
