My Mosaic

With the thoughts, I'm thinking there's 2 ways about it:

1) get distracted so they are in the background

2) sit with the thoughts but keep telling yourself they are only thoughts

They both have their pros and cons. I feel option 1 is the go-to method, but if you can stick it out, option 2 is the therapeutic stuff. Have you done the 'thoughts flowing down a stream' mindfulness task? That is the one that helps with option 2.

With the heat press, cant you just use greaseproof paper and an iron on low? I used to do this with Hama bead art @Bow

I don’t really have much capacity to do much at the moment @tyme 

trying to distract myself doesn’t really work at the moment. I do try. I really do. Doing my art, I keep finding myself just sitting there aimlessly staring into space caught up in my thoughts. Tv/ movies, same thing. Pointless watching most things cause I got no idea what’s going on. 

pdoc wanted me to go into hospital yesterday. His concerned. 

cricut iron on stuff needs a proper heat press apparently. I asked on FB about it, one lady said she was able to just use her iron and press down for ages no gliding. Others said it doesn’t work. Aldi heat press was $79 compared to spotlights $200+

Really???? I didn't know that! Glad I haven't even tried. I'm interested. But did they use greaseproof paper so they can then glide??? Come on, surely that works?

@Bow 

I'm sorry to hear that the thoughts are relentless. If you think of something we can do make it easier, feel free to let us know.
