Thank you for your kind comment, and for picking up on that – it’s very much my mantra now 🙂

Thanks so much for this. I totally agree that tuning outwards like that can really lift some of the heaviness if it’s proving really hard to focus inwards.

One of the things my therapist has me do is focus on noticing shapes and sounds around me when I’m in one of my difficult and painful moments — sounds similar to your plummet actually. I suppose that is a form of noticing, even as it serves as a type of distraction. The more I notice my surroundings, the more I am able to calm myself and see the emotions for what they are. But sometimes I can’t get there until I calm down, and just focusing on noticing what’s around me in my environment often helps with that.

This is great stuff, and I think I’ll try some of the techniques you suggest here. Thanks for this.
