Our monkey mind is generally unsettled; restless; capricious; whimsical; fanciful; inconstant; confused; indecisive; uncontrollable... It jumps between desire and aversion all the time. How about the inbetween moments? This is the critically important part of building your skills in mindfullness. The thumbnail shows the famous "Nillambe oya" from Sri Lanka. It is at Nillmabe meditation centre with Late Mr. Godwin Samaratane , I was fortunate enough to learn some of the basic skills in mindfullness as a young medical student in my previous life...
The idea of a “monkey mind” and those in-between moments really captures how overwhelming thoughts can feel, especially during migraines or stress. It’s a helpful reminder to slow down and observe rather than react. Managing those mental shifts can bring a sense of calm and control. In a way, it’s like daytonetracking your thoughts, noticing each pattern as it comes and gently guiding yourself back to balance and awareness.
Managing a “monkey mind” and being mindful during in-between moments can really help reduce stress and even ease migraine triggers. Small daily habits, like pausing, breathing, or enjoying a calming beverage, can make a difference. For instance, after a mindful break, treating yourself to a flavorful drink can be refreshing. You can explore options and pricing easily through the 7 Brew Privés, making it simple to enjoy a little self-care while staying on top of your migraine management routine.
Living with migraines can be challenging, and I appreciate how this blog shares daily tips to stay mindful even during those in-between moments. The idea of calming the monkey mind really resonates with anyone trying to find balance and peace while managing discomfort. Taking small mindful breaks can make a big difference in both physical and mental well-being. I recently learned about the Glacier Hike Shuttle which offers a refreshing way to reconnect with nature and clear the mind, and it reminds me how healing a simple outdoor escape can be. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful and supportive advice.
