Day 6

Today started off with a good night’s sleep but wide awake at 5am. Finally managed to get myself back to sleep til 6. Now I’ve showered, brushed teeth and checked in online. 6:30 and I’m ready to start with meditation and maybe yoga or journaling….today is a better day!

I did my mantra meditation, and when looking it up learned I’ve been doing the mantra slightly wrong for a few months – lol. Will try to fix that next time Om Gum Ganapatayi Namaha. Next, I went on a walking mediation around the neighborhood. No tunes or distractions, just paying attention to morning sounds and things growing. It was wonderful.

It’s 8pm, I’ve finished up work and some catching up on friends and family, still waiting for dinner, and I’m so tired. The idea of doing yoga, or journaling, or even another meditation feels like work that I’m not inclined to do. This happens most every night. I feel like I pound through my day and leave nothing behind when I step away from my computer.

I’m going to sit with that idea for awhile, and see if it’s something I want to change, or accept.
