If mindfulness encourages self compassion, it also is partial to you expressing compassion and kindness to all those suffering with hernias and who will undergo or recently have had completed some form of hernia surgery. Mindfulness would have you meditate transmitting positive and encouraging thoughts to these fellow human beings they experience as little anxiety, pain and suffering as possible. All that is required is a quiet and sincere moment for this “send out”. It is not necessary you are a meditator in the formal sense. Close your eyes, relax and repeat heartfelt and sincere healing and encouraging words to your “target audience”.
We have all heard when faced with troubling thoughts just “get it off your chest” which supposedly clears and relaxes the mind. Could it be sending gratitude to all those who have been involved in your hernia adventure is flushing out and directing gratitude out of your system to where it belongs. Think of the physician that diagnosed you and sent you to an ultrasound technician whose images were reported on by imaging physician who confirmed with your doctor who then referred you to a surgeon who then set up a presurgical appointment with antitheists, pharmacists and nursing support that then sent you to report for surgery which had an attendant rolling you down to and from the operating theatre after a nursing team prepared you for surgery to an anesthetist and nurses that cared for you in the operating room, to a post surgical care team and a surgeon’s support team that answered any questions about your surgical recovery. And aside from medical personnel your family and friends that assisted and supported you through your hernia adventure.
Your hernia adventure would not be possible without a whole passle of people! Many you have personally thanked and some not.
