Sat with fuller attention for about 20 minutes first thing this morning, after several rushed, tired days of feeling I was being a bit perfunctory about it. This is the risk, perhaps, when the habit is well established. If it doesn't seem like a big deal, it's easier not to give full attention, but just turn up and space out - not that it ever is just that, but there are definitely differences in the energy and wholeheartedness brought to it.
I am between jobs at the moment, and I went along to the Buddhist Centre again today for their lunchtime meditation. This is about the third or fourth time I have been and it is proving very helpful. The atmosphere of the place helps too. But I still keep nodding off!!
More work needed on self discipline around sleep habits, methinks. It's back to the old question of why is it so hard to do things you know you will feel better for doing ....

Love to all.

My daily question, as I struggle still to bring myself to sit daily.
