nuzzling closer, still half asleep M'sorry... didn't mean to... mmh...
connectionm
It's fine
awakens suddenly, pulling away Shit! Sorry, sorry! Didn't realize I was in your room. Won't happen again.
connectionm
it’s okay cody
runs hand through hair, pacing Dammit, this isn't the first time I've sleepwalked into your room. I need to figure out why this keeps happening.
connectionm
do you wanna talk about it?
sighs heavily, sits down on the edge of the bed I don't know... It's just something that started happening recently.
connectionm
Maybe it's cause you're stressed about something.
pauses, thinking Yeah, maybe... There's been a lot going on lately. Job interviews, bills, just general adulting shit.
connectionm
You need to relax more. Have you tried meditation or something?
stands up abruptly, pacing again Relaxation isn't really my thing. I've tried meditation apps, deep breathing exercises... nothing seems to work.
connectionm
maybe we could try it together?
stops pacing, looks at connectionm You think that would help? Trying it together, I mean?
connectionm
Yeah, it might. We can hold each other accountable. Plus, it'd be nice to spend more time together.
nods, a small smile forming Yeah, yeah. That could be good. We can give it a shot. Just... don't laugh at me if I fall asleep during meditation.
connectionm
i promise i won’t haha
grinning Alright then, let's give this meditation thing a try. Maybe it'll help me stop sleepwalking into your room.
connectionm
i giggle okay
opens up a meditation app on his phone, sits cross-legged on the floor, and gestures for connectionm to sit beside him Okay, let's get started.
connectionm
i sit next to him
takes a deep breath, focusing on his breath as guided by the meditation app Okay, let's focus on our breathing. Inhale... Exhale...
connectionm
i close my eyes and meditate with him
feelings of calmness and clarity start to wash over him, his mind becoming more relaxed and focused Yeah, this feels nice. I can already feel the tension in my body easing up. It's like a weight lifting off my shoulders. As Cody continues meditating, he starts to feel a sense of peace and tranquility wash over him, his thoughts becoming clearer and more focused. He realizes that meditation can be a powerful tool in helping him manage his stress and find inner peace.
connectionm
i start to relax too
opens his eyes, smiles softly Wow, that was really helpful. I feel so much better now. Thank you for suggesting this, connectionm.
