Today I feel like I can breath. Yesterday I felt rotten. I get really bad stomach cramps that hurt all the way through to my back when I get stressed. I sometimes get them even when I don't think I am stressed, but I probably am but just not pinpointing why. I was so glad to get home last night and I just tried to relax all evening. I made a simple omelet for dinner and went to bed early.
I see the need to meditate and practice mindfulness. I know I will benefit if I can practice this daily. I am just finishing up reading "The Miracle of Mindfulness, A Manual on Meditation "by Thich Nhat Hanh. I have read another of his books in the past and I have another one on order that touches more on the philosophy of Buddhism. Just reading his works is very calming. He has some meditation topics that I will follow through on as I think they can help me let go of the issues in my past that continue to negatively disrupt my thoughts.
I had an excellent workout this morning, I met or exceeded my goals. I love days like this because of the confidence it instills in me that I will be more than capable of completing the EBC trek.
Meditation focus, I am a small pebble in a stream. Water rushing over me. I am a stone, undisturbed but yet part of the universe as is all creation.
