I love this! What a great way to approach a frustrating situation. Thank you for sharing—I’ll definitely be thinking about how to implement this strategy to turn things around the next time challenges arise, or an opportunity for reflection is presented. :)
I can't think of anywhere weird that I meditated. It's probably one of the more difficult of practices that I can't seem to stick with. This week I had three days with little to no sleep. Later, for some reason I can't seem to nap. So I got the bight idea of turning on a guided meditation for 30 minutes to relax and rest my eyes. It worked! I came out of it completely refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the day. So I've done it a few more times since, and it seems to be working quite well.
(That's so weird that you can't bring a (physical) book into jury duty. Just weird.)
I love this! What a great example you shared of shifting mindsets in a seemingly unhappy place. I have done this at the airport, flights canceled, stranded and massively delayed. Shifted to being grateful that I have the means to travel, that I am safe, and there is a roof over my head. And knowing that I will eventually be able to fly home, just on a different time frame than originally planned. Thanks for the reminder of this

Thanks. I tried to make the best of the situation, and I think I succeeded!

I wouldn't have expected to meditate at jury duty! I guess it's the classic making lemonade from lemons.
Yes, the no book rule was arbitrary, and I have since contacted the clerk of court directly to voice my displeasure with the rule.
Haha, making a difference, love it!

All very trying circumstances no doubt. It's such a powerful tool that can make a world of difference.
