Can you see that you are scaring yourself with your thoughts again? She wants to help you What if, for 15 minutes, you could imagine that learning mindfulness is the best idea you've ever heard. The best. Ever. Just that. No other thoughts allowed about it - just that this is going to be great!!

(This is a concept I learned at a business workshop when we were learning how to be open to other's ideas. By doing this, we often found positive aspects of the other's idea; it opens up the mind to possibilities.)

you see if i didn't talk to her she couldn't hate me.
I think I remember you worrying before about her 'hating' you for not talking?

I hope these are helpful to you:
