Too busy to meditate.

You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes every day- unless you are too busy.
​Then you should sit for an hour.
- Zen Proverb

A short blog today.

If you are rushing on your walk - you should slow down
If you are angry with your painting - you should take a break.
If your workload is overwhelming you - you should see what you should outsource.
​When you are scrolling and drinking and talking and a million other things - you should just pick one.
Stop expecting too much of yourself.

Gentle reminders to myself to notice when I'm going too fast.

A short sweet list of ways to slow down

ADHD brain does struggle with remembering this
​So we start again every time

I let myself enter creative flow and sometimes that looks like multi tasking and chaos -
But when I reach 'peak-drive' - I take a walk.

I managed the habit of meditating daily for a while -
It had to be guided for my brain - but non-the-less.
I go to it now in times of need.
But I know really I need it daily.

Preventative not reactive.

Carving out time for moments of stillness is a constant trial.​

This is my gentle push to myself to remember meditation is really helpful.

Are you able to carve some stillness out today?
