Melt yourself into the vibration as you don't need to keep count or anything. The point is to have no other thoughts and completely relax and focus on the mantra. When you feel like you have done enough Affirm: "My mind is calm and clear at all times in a positive and healthy way for me" x5.
Note that this isnt a formal working or anything as its just an aid to keep your mind focused as Aum relates to the mind and on its own can help clear and focus it. You can do this before starting your meditation session or whenever you feel the need to calm yourself.
Yes I was thinking affirmations. If you can set your timer for five minutes you can visualise yourself out and not getting panicked anymore. Just a five minute daily daydream that you are now 'calm and relaxed.' Do the visualisation every day for five minutes.
And about five minutes before you go into those situations that sometimes panic you. For about five minutes beforehand. Just repeat to yourself over and over again in your mind:
I feel calm and relaxed, I feel calm and relaxed, I feel calm and relaxed.
By affirming you are thinking it. It's all in the mind. And what doesn't mind, doesn't matter.
I'm a very socially isolated person. And I've noticed that the less I interact with people the less I want to. And that I feel a nervous energy to escape.
I also don't have any friends. I'm too selfish with my spiritual aspirations and duties. No time to waste unfortunately. Also I don't have trust much anymore.
Sad but its not healthy. So we need to be able to be friendly and have harmless topic conversations with people we interact with because it's necessary to maintain mental health.
It's harder with the lockdown but I wish you good luck.
Do your five minutes daily meditation. And affirm for five minutes I feel calm and relaxed before going into those situations.
Believe it or not. It's not outside situations that makes you be something. It's all from the inside projecting out.
You can react any way you choose.
