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.

I hear you, buddy. Keep on truckin!
Never giving up! Can't become enlightened overnight, can we?
"It's difficult to remember to be in the present at all times, but it's a goal worth trying for."
A goal? Trying? Aren't those antithetical to enlightenment? That's the word on the street.
It's paradoxical, all right: trying to get something by not trying. But it's like the feeling of joy: you can't say, "I am now going to feel joy." It either happens effortlessly, or it's not the real thing.
