healing tea & meditation is a good start
Yesterday was a holiday, so I’m updating today instead. I’m back in the coffee shop in my building for the first time in quite awhile. It took me a bit to find a good table. This table isn’t my favourite, but I like it well enough. I’m drinking one of the healing teas that they recently started bringing in from my favourite coffee shop. Usually I’d get them at the shop where they come from, but I didn’t feel like going that far, and it’s nice that they have them here now too. They don’t make them quite as fancy here, so it’s not quite the same experience, but I’m not looking for fancy today anyway.
It doesn’t feel like a week has already gone by. I didn’t end up getting all the sleep I wanted to, but I did start meditating more. I’ve been doing unguided meditation, which was suggested to me by my spiritual leader. I wasn’t expecting to like it so much (especially since the amount of time they suggested was twice as long as I usually meditate for) but I ended up liking it so much that I decided to work it into my daily routine as a mid-day meditation. Now if everything goes according to plan I will be meditating three times a day (morning, mid-day, and evening). If I have difficulty sleeping I may even add in a sleep meditation at night.
After doing my unguided meditation practice I feel a really big difference in my overall mood, my ability to cope with things, and strangely enough I find it easier to be my authentic self too. I’m just a more chill person after I do my meditation. As of me writing this, I have not done my meditation yet today, and I have been noticeably irritated. I don’t think this is a coincidence.
Anyhoo, speaking of my authentic self, I think the authentic self thing has been going pretty decently. I think I’d like to show my true self a bit more still, but I think I’m off to a good start. I don’t actually feel the need to add more to this at this time. Perhaps I’ll give more of a detailed update next week.
I’m actually feeling pretty tired. I may see if I can nap or something. I’m gonna end this entry here. ‘till next week.
Emotionally: irritable
Spiritually: good
Physically: tired
Color: I am grey today (gloomy and damp like a morning fog)
Last week’s goal: Definitely need to still work on it
This week’s goal: Keep trying to get more sleep
