I pictured him at the grocery store and the clothing store. I imagined him hiking and mowing the lawn and cooking on the grill.

And I started to get bored.

I had to force myself to get through the 15 minutes. It felt LONG. But I did it, and when I was done, I was DONE. I had let myself imagine, and I was ready to move on.

It was a really helpful exercise, and it freed me and my brain to participate in my real life.
That sounds like a great idea and will try it in a few days, as I am getting company over night and the next two days will be busy. Thanks for the input.
