Damn, today’s recon was harsh. It’s the physical/energetic type I get on TB, so I’m certain it has a role to play in this. Even if my body/mind aren’t fatigued, it feels like my energetic body took a hit and there’s this deep chaotic vibration/tremoring in the background. It doesn’t affect my quality of life, just feels like I’m living with a very mild form of anxiety.
Other things I’ve been noticing:
For the about 2-3 weeks now, I keep holding my breath when I encounter beautiful/hot people. Kind of like a “take my breath away” situation, even if I consciously don’t find them to be able to incite such a reaction from me. It’s more automatic/reflexive.
The next one is me not being able to handle sexual tension both physical and mental. The soldier gets alert anywhere, anytime. So I usually engage the tension in short bursts. With KB added in my custom now, it’s on steroids; even a passing breeze would make the mini man too alert for hours on end. My techniques at bringing him to rest aren’t working either.
Breath regulation. I’ve been noticing my breathing patterns more and when I do I try to breathe into my diaphragm. There’s also times I notice pauses/breath holds. Then it freaked me out because of how unusual it felt. Now when it happens I simply let myself breath as deep as possible in the next turn, then try to control the holds with boxed breathing.
Also, the use of breath to up-regulate and down-regulate my body that I learnt from Sanguine since last year seems to be sinking deeper.
