Day 25

Today started out perfectly! I woke up, peed and brushed teeth, lit my candle and did a mala meditation. Then put on shoes and headed out for a walking meditation. I decided to do half the walk on the trails in the park near my house, Hammock Park. It was a great decision! I enjoyed some distance social interactions, too, saying hello to neighbors.

Back in time to get a shower and finish the dishes before work started. It really helped to start out so balanced, because next thing you know a WILD ASS storm blew in with a tornado warning and a lot of thunder that had the dog barking like crazy. And then logging into work and it seems I had a thunderstorm there as well.

The big storm has passed, and I’m on lunch break typing this. The afternoon will be jam packed with work, and my 13 new supervisees to introduce myself to!

    Today I didn’t really do any journaling, but I did attend a 1.75 hour yin/nidra yoga class with Tymi, and attended the daily 9:05am Warrior One meditation on Zoom. Been feeling a little under the weather thanks to pollen and not sleeping that great, so I’ll give myself a pass on the journaling. We did…

    Starting off well with meditation and quiet time. Adding pranayama to my mantra meditation to make it ten minutes long, and the breathing feels sooo good, plus exercises those lungs! I’m off this morning to pick up a farm-share box I bought. More fresh and healthy food + helping local farmers = win!

    I did my mala meditation for a start today, and feeling a little wander-ish with my time this morning. Part of me wants to ‘get to work’ and do online yoga class and meditation. Part of me wants to lay on the daybed and read and play solitaire. And part of me wants to do…

    Today is Sunday, when I let myself start a little more slowly. After some kitchen work I sat down and did the Baron Baptiste Week 1 Presence guided meditation, for the proscribed 5 minutes. I’ve been doing my mantra mala meditation most days for months now, so this felt a little brief, but I did…

    Today I managed to sleep a little later which was much needed, and I did my meditation with pranayama. I’m up to holding/breathing for 8 counts (breathe in 8, hold 8, breathe out 8, hold 8). I tried one at ten but was struggling. I also posted in my 40 day group asking for help…

    This morning I did make time for meditation, and since my mala meditation is only about 5-6 minutes, and Week 2 requires 10, I did a mindfulness sitting meditation for the remainder of the time. I kinda sucked at getting present, but the candle I had lit helped me return. I wrote up all my…
