Can you see that this is thought content?That's surprisingly not so easy to do, as in times of stress the mind is very chaotic and lots of thoughts/sensations flying through very quickly, like a very convoluted chain .
Look.
See.
Not a problem. Just note, that this is thought content.
And that is what arose.
It arose on its own accord.
Good job. You saw a chain of events as a chain of events.1 a thought "hurry up your late"
2 feeling of tension intensifying
3 feeling of annoyance for something not being on the right place delaying me for another few seconds 😅 THOUGHT CONTENT
4 "why can't he put things where they belong?" Frustration
5 my little one wakes up calling me
6 "arghhh why now?! Going to be even later" frustration and tightness intensifying, feeling a stress headache coming on
7 "breath calm down, not little ones fault I'm in a rush, doesn't deserve a frustrated dad"
8 taking a few slow breaths (somewhat hurried😝)
9 spending a few minutes with my kid, calm on the outside, very tensed on the inside
10 rushing to the door, head throbbing, all kinds of worrying scenarios+accompanying emotions whirling around
I want you to live life for a day. And during that day, if it happens, and if noticing is present, try to notice occurances of focal points shifting. Or awareness shifting. And also if/when the sense of self arises.
But when those things come up and get noticed, pay close attention to notice it as a chain of event just like you did above.
Notice that, it, too, is no different than any of numbers 1-10 you wrote above. It could take place as number 1. Or number 5. Or number 10. Just see if it presents itself at all. Any of those things I mentioned.
And if it doesn't, but let's say thetorically you are trying to notice it and it doesn't pop up- just notice that the "trying to notice it" is also an event in the chain... that it too arises on its own, and could take as being number 1, 2, 5, 9, etc in a given chain.
Do that for me?
And of course, report your findings or hangups.
But if there is a hangup, before you write it down... notice that that "hangup" too, just like anything else, arose on its own, out of nowhere, without asking for your permission to he a hangup. It just presented itself.
Ash.
