Deepak and Oprah

I continue to use the Deepak and Oprah 21 Day meditations and find it really helps me be motivated to sit and really focus.  On my own I get bored and restless fairly quickly.

Guided Meditation

I am so happy using Deepak Chopra's meditation series.  Wish I had checked in with this earlier.  It really helps me stay focused. 

I also joined a group and meditated with them yesterday.  That helped too.

Making Room for Meditation

Making time for meditation is very much like making time for anything else.  The best way for me to do it is to do it first.

I have several things that I do "first."  The problem isn't making the time, it's doing it "first." 

For so many years my "firsts" were home care.  It's deeply ingrained in me.  But now home care is not a first. Those activities come naturally and are comfortable.  Because I'm more than a little bit lazy, I find myself thinking they come first.

So, change is hard. 

More Progress Not Perfection

Continue, continue, continue.

Guests.  Sleeping later than I mean to. Forgetting.

Travel. 

Hmmm

I still meditate even if it's only a few minutes.

Still Working on Consistency

Missed a few days around having a garage sale. 

I haven't learned to just do 2 minutes on those type days.

Doing short bursts of meditation doesn't seem right and yet it is a lot better than skipping it.
