Day 4

I honestly don’t believe I made it this far. It’s been months since I have sat on anything like a regular basis (read: more than once a month). There isn’t really even any stiffness.

Today I fell into the most simple of traps. I usually split the hour between two sittings. I sat down for the second sitting and felt fairly calm. Given the near disaster that almost resulted from setting up my IKEA Ivar shelf system with my laptop sitting on the shelf that the other shelf fell on… After a few moments I started thinking – there’s trouble right there – about how well it was going. (this is going well, wasn’t it?) My mind immediately started feeding me all sorts of distractions. Especially the sort to get the old adrenaline going. Boy do I love winning arguments, after the fact, when I control both sides of the discussion.

Day 2

Began the day by avoiding the cushion which actually led to wandering around doing nothing until I finally realized what I was really avoiding. It’s been months since I sat regularly, so the mind wandered endlessly. At least I’ve started.

Day 1

Jumped into it. I just went to the cushion, set the timer, and sat down.
