Thanks for the bracelet appreciation!
@tyme Yes I saw your other post first, asking for photo - I will post more, I think I'm getting better! And I agree, we don't need Google, ask away!
It takes about an hour to make bracelet. I ended up making 3 yesterday - it is great stress relief for me. They are easy, it is one knot, called the 'cobra knot' over and over again. It takes practice to get knot neat, I like that bit.
You are right about glue being fiddly. It is not too bad. Only two tiny spots where they need glue, where the cord is cut, to stop it unraveling. It is the most un enjoyable bit though!
I'm going to add photo. ๐ Thanks so much @Judi9877 & @tyme for lovely comments.
I read your post below @tyme re: smiling mind app. That is exactly how I have been using it too, at night to help me sleep. I was never able to get into meditation before. I will listen to 'breath' again. Two I find most helpful are 'accepting' & 'fading'. It is best to listen to them in order I think @Judi9877 with the sleep challenge.
I recently downloaded insight timer app. It is really amazing if you want to try some variation for sleep routine. It is not as good as smiling mind app imo. It must be connected to internet to listen, unless you subscribe. It is so good, I would be willing to pay subscription, however it is over $80 every year, so nah - not for me! I like to be tech free - phone on flight mode when I sleep. I use it couple times a week & turn my phone off if I wake up later.
Sorry, I rambled on a bit there๐
