During the pandemic I discovered a blog that one of my kiddo's friends was writing. She was a college student. I think it could have been for a class.
Anyways....she had this LONG morning routine and meditation was part of it.
I tried it one morning and the entire routine took HOURS and there was absolutely no way that an adult with a regular job could do this routine without getting up at 3:30 in the morning.
Anyways.... I tried to just do the meditation part and I found it very stressful especially since I have the attention span of a gnat most of the time.
My thoughts were very similar to yours.
Heck.... I can't even listen to a podcast.
Anyways....your post made me laugh out loud. I don't know if that was your intention or not. I wasn't laughing with you.... because you're my friend and I like you...I was simply laughing at the situation. ❤️
I almost always want people to laugh, so yes, thank you.
I do want to promote *Headspace* as a practical, humans-with-an-understanding-of-time-constraints app - the meditations usually have a sliding length from 4ish minutes-11, and they are truly personable.
God bless you for sharing the reality. I could no sooner meditate than lose 100 pounds. Won’t make a to do list for fear of paralysis. I can however zone out after work for half hour and not think about much, maybe that counts? I am in awe of your honesty & wit.
Full disclosure: I often go off-list then write in the things I accomplished. But I hear you on the paralysis; I’m pushing through it, sometimes with raging self-talk but still...
Did you add olives to the grocery list?
I did!
Thanks for asking.
