Don't panic Granite. It's ok to tell T you can't do it. I'm always telling my T that I don't know how to do things. She's asks me, "how do you feel in your body?" and I say, "I don't know." She tell me to pay attention to my body and I'll say, "I can't do it"

Your T will understand when you tell her it's hard. Just understand what you can and what you can't can wait until later.

Anytime we try something new it's going to seem impossible. That's how I feel about mindfulness myself. But, I figure, one step at a time. Too often we think we need to do things 'right' or 'perfect' but we would never expect the 5 year old to know calculus. So, slow and steady. You and I can be partners in this new learning. I plan on going very slowly - how about you? Itsy bitsy tiny steps. OK?
Thanks for this!
