A few thoughts...

Began meditating again yesterday. I feel so much better - focused, calm, less irritable - when I meditate regularly.

I re-listened to some good podcasts which always gets me going in the right direction again. One mentioned that when we are fearful (or worrying) we are not being mindful, not living in the moment. We are wasting time, missing out, not living when we do this. I've realized that as a fearful worrier all my life that I've wasted years and years of my life! It's difficult to remember to be in the present at all times, but it's a goal worth trying for.

Right.....get back on track!

Been on a 3 week holiday. Perfect opportunity to practice mindfulness or observing my behaviour and reactions and judgments. But.....

There were a few times when I remembered to stop and think 'I am walking through the streets of Paris' or 'I am tasting this or that and thoroughly enjoying it'.... simply being in the moment. Should have done it more often! But I didn't, so I'll just start fresh again.
