Today I tried to practice mindfulness and loving kindness toward myself. Tough work for someone who has trouble sitting in meditation for longer that 20 minutes. But I kept coming back to it as much as I could and I think that helped keep me centered and focused. I also printed out this wonderful list from Kimberly Wilson's Tranquility du Jour website. I love her blogs. She sends great inspiration just when I need it. And she keeps me motivated to be creative.
My yoga practice was good today. I stopped when my shoulders asked me to and went on to do some forward bends and twists. Instead of trying to figure out what's next, by listening to my body I just know where to go.
I hope your Thursday was a good one.
Namaste'
Tias Little talks about meditation and says that if you can sit and meditate for 5 mintues you are doing well. It is called a "practice" because it takes that. We are humans and our minds travel the globe every second... give yourself a break. More importantly: give yourself a pat on the back for starting the process of calming that mental travel. You are one step ahead of the pack!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do try to give myself a break, but for a Type A Personality that's tough work. But that's why we practice, right? Namaste'
