Some Work

I didn't look at the clock, so I don't know how many minutes I did, but I'm glad I managed to work some meditation in today. I was feeling so out of sorts and icky earlier.

I had no moments of stillness this time, my mind was in a thousand places. After my two salutations au soleil I sat for a while, but couldn't focus. I did a silent Ong-na, but I couldn't make the wheels stop spinning. My upcoming trip, tv shows I've been watching, relatives I haven't talked to in a while,... Everything was fighting for room in my head. Finally I just settled for bringing myself into the here and now. I couldn't acheive stillness, so I settled for mindfulness, but I think it was still good. I just reminded myself over and over of where I was and what I was doing, and I managed to reign my raging imagination in a bit.

I feel better now.
