Day 9

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 notes from last night’s meeting and put them in the Day 8 log. I haven’t really accomplished much else and have felt a little scattered and tired today. Adjusting to the new full time position is challenging. But I did get to talk with my son and I have to say I LOVE the adult version of him. He’s really interesting and funny and I like him as a human, not just as my son.

So I did a short walk with dog and husband, and I’m thinking of heading back out for another walk alone rather than yoga. Sometimes I need to be outside more than doing asana. Especially after so much time spent on my butt staring at a screen…I’ll let you know!

Just back from a half hour walk listening to a podcast instead of nature. But it was still nice to be outside!

My husband had to work late so I jumped into the Warrior One yoga dance party tonight and got to enjoy Kim’s meditation, and do a little yoga and a lot of dancing/wiggling and enjoying our great community. It put a happy spin on the end of my day! Maybe I could get used to meditation and/or yoga at night, too!

    I feel pretty checked out of the 40 days process today, despite my thinking I’d get back on track. Nevertheless, there is something to be learned in all experiences, and I’ll keep logging my experiences here. I think if I had attended the meetings or if my small group had been more engaged, I would…
