Last week when I missed my intended train stop for the second time in as many days, and then this week having nearly left my phone behind twice, I decided that perhaps my brain is in need of a bit of a break.
Generally, I am on top of things even when I am trying to convince myself that the myth of multitasking is the real myth. However, this morning, i actually wrote this sentence:
“I currently have the kettle boiling, laundry going, bath heating, news playing and pen in hand for writing.”
The only actions that involved my effort were listening to the news and writing, yet I was not really doing either one that well.
So, while I could say it is ‘hormones’ or perhaps it is a bit of ‘spring fever’, I think the real truth is that I need to slow down a bit. This should be more obvious to me as I am spending more time reading these days, which is usually a sign that I am using escapism for some reason. Although, I do not necessarily feel “off”, I am trying harder to be in the present moment rather than buried into electronics or a million other activities.
This is enough of a reminder for me to be more disciplined with my meditation….
