/a solo journaling game about being mindful/
*Dedicated to*: JoDee, for everything.

This game can stir up uncomfortable thoughts. If at any time you
encounter a thought that you don't want to pursue then give yourself
permission to just let that thought pass by. If you are unable to let it
go then write "Here ends the session." and give yourself time to
recover. This game is about exploration of our thoughts, not dredging up
painful or discomforting thoughts.
*Note:* Before using the condensed version of the game for play, please
be familiar with the full version of the game.
** Equipment
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: equipment

- Agitation (optional)
- Three tokens for marking when you get agitated through this entire
process
- Alternatively, you can mark "agitated" in your journal
- Prompting
- A single, six sided dice
** The Game
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: the-game
:END:
The main goal of the game is to have you think about this moment in time
and focus on it. The prompts are there to help you focus on one
particular aspect of this moment in time.
*** Choosing a prompt
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: choosing-a-prompt
:END:
Roll the die to determine which of the prompt(s) to use
Take a few seconds to think about the prompt. Many times we'll already
have something in our mind relating to the prompt, but if not the feel
free to use the following as a guide:
| *1. Who?* | other people or ourselves | *2. What?* | items or ideas that we have |
| *3. Where?* | places or mental space | *4. When?* | time |
| *5. Why?* | purpose, motivation, or current feelings | *6. How?* | current state |
*** Write about it
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: write-about-it
:END:
Once you have given the prompt some thought the next part is to write
about it. /Don't overthink this./ There's no wrong answer to these
prompts. Whatever is grabbing your attention is what you should write
about.
*Remember*: this is a game about exploration of our thoughts. There's no
right or wrong way to do this.
*** Agitation
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: agitation
:END:
During the game you'll notice yourself getting agitated, especially if
you've set a timer and that time hasn't elapsed yet. That's part of the
mindfulness process. Just note that you experienced agitation, either by
moving a token or marking "agitated" in your journal. Then try to return
back to the process of writing.
If you have noted "agitation" three times then stop. Move to *Finishing
the game*.
