Meditation: Get Out of the Spiral of Luteal Thoughts

You know the feeling... You're in your luteal phase and along comes some negative thought--about yourself, your life, your PMDD--and before you even know what is happening you are getting swept up in that thought and down an endless spiral of ruminating on this thought. You are now going down the rabbit hole with this thought, unable to let it go, and maybe even believing whatever awful thing this thought is telling you. In this process, you may be starting to feel uncomfortable sensations in your body. (For me, it was often a shaky, 'zinging' or anxious feeling.)So what can we do to start putting a little space between our thoughts and feelings? To practice becoming less hooked by them...Or less attached?The meditation offered in this episode (Leaves on a Stream) is one way to start building this skill. I invite you to join me in this practice.Also, this is the final episode of Season 1 but you can still find me:In previous episodesIn my newsletterOn InstagramOn Insight Timer (Free meditation app)And you can always reach out to learn more about my PMDD Coaching & Support program!xoDianeConnect with me!DM me on Instagram @mindfulnessforpmddFREE Meditations for PMDD for You from Me!
