Starting off a morning with a fresh round of meditation and
yoga just does something for you, doesn’t it?
Things that were totally insurmountable seem attainable.
Productivity is possible.
The air seems
fresher.
Distractions are
diminished.
Discord and
conflict kind of melt away.
Okay, maybe that’s just me, in a state of glorious hippie.
Toss in some hula hooping, and I have a pretty rockstar day ahead.
There is something to this, though, this idea of centering
the mind and refreshing the body to have more energy. Also, Buddhism teaches us to shed expectations, to
approach the world with more neutrality. Meditative practices and exercises can
result in a more graceful flow to the day generally.
Currently I have been on a quest to have fewer needs, to
remove disappointment as a factor in my life. The key expectation I had to shed was to stop expecting to please people. Do the best you can, and remind yourself you did what time, ability, and other circumstances allowed, and don’t be attached to someone else’s result of satisfaction.
