Looking over some of my original posts reminds me to take stock of how I am doing on my journey. Changing ourselves is one of the hardest things that we can do. We have to begin the change and then repeat it util it becomes habit. Not so easy.
We struggle with the habits that are ingrained from years of practice. Once we begin trying to change it is so easy to fall back into the old routine. Since I began this journey I have made some positive changes that have stuck and some that have not.
My task now it to evaluate and decide if the things I haven’t changed are still relevant. If so it is time to tackle them. I find it easier to make small changes that lead me to the bigger one.
I have not been meditating as I should and this is one I will tackle with intent. Why should I consider 5 or 10 minutes out of my day as a problem. From there I hope to grow back into a routine discarded years ago and see the result of spending time in “neutral.” As I said once before my long ago yoga instructor said when we are awake we are in forward gear, asleep in reverse and in meditation in neutral. Routinely meditating brought me calm and a sense of connection to the universe. I want to regain that.
Changing is hard and not for sissies. I won’t give up but keep on keeping on.
May you each have a serene weekend.

Change is so necessary at times. And it is so easy to fall back into old routines. I like that you mentioned we have to find the changes we know we need and make sure we follow through.

I too have let my meditation practice slide. I like the term “neutral” that works so well! Why is that 5-10 minutes feels like too much time to give up to meditate? I believe for me, I am afraid of the stillness and use the time as my excuse. Thank you for this reminder!

Sorry the I didn’t see this reply until now. You are so right. Why does so little time seem like a big thing? Maybe I was supposed to read this now to remind myself. Thank you.
