Tried to stay present the whole time but I would start thinking random stuff. Once I caught myself thinking I returned to being present and this happened a lot of times in the 1 hour. Near the end I found myself thinking a lot about random stuff and it got harder to become aware of it. I was tired. Feelings Felt Physiologically: Felt uncomfortable just sitting.
