I’ve learned a useful technique from Martha Beck. Instead of indulging in useless worries I use moments,especially when I wait for deliveries: laundry, meals, packages etc. to delight in sense memories.
For example, I enjoy thinking of beef broccoli and the peculiar taste of the vegetable so different from the healthy but unpalatable green leafy vegetables. Next I move on the smell of freshly cut grass which leads me to think of a relaxing back massage.
I also enjoy thinking of the sensation of twirling my fingers along smooth locks of hair. All these while I listen to the bell-like sound of rain hitting metal. The crowning glory of this musing is the picture of topiaries in the Botanical Garden of Singapore and the regal trees in Hyde Park in Sydney.
