I have remained committed to my meditation practice for more than two weeks. Once daily for now.
It's still challenging to remain focused on my breath. The observer in me has gained some presence as I watch where my awareness goes while just sitting. My intention is to be in the present moment....and I see what occurs in my mind; it is preoccupied with planning, doing, thinking and my body is tense.
As I become aware of this, I no longer label it as wrong or bad. I simply observe it and come back to the breath. My observer develops with each practice. Mindfulness and no judgment on myself becomes my choice. This is part of self-love and self-acceptance with what is.
I look forward to meditation now and connecting with myself in stillness.
