Misplaced Cushion

 “Just do something. It doesn’t have to be a lifetime commitment, just do something for the sake of the doing, for the engagement, for the involvement.” Sharon Salzberg

Since last year’s trip to Thailand, my retreat and training ground, I have kept some things going –

•           The start of the day is the identification of three MIT - Most Important Things to accomplish this day.

In general, unless there is something that is needed to be done or as yesterday, cannot be done (I travelled miles for a Debussy concert and there was none) I get the three things accomplished.

•     Commit to the three-minute rule – If I can do it in three minutes. Just do it.
• 
  
•       One personal Commitment for the day… something I want to do for myself.

This usually means something that I have thought of that I want to see or read, or more downtime, rest, be mindful etc.   Rather than put it on the back burner, it comes to today’s fire.

What has slipped away a little is my meditation time.   I end the day with a Sounds True Insights Interview and that sends me to sleep in a very positive way…  The start of the day... is the ping on the computer that something is waiting for me to read.  

What is so important that it cannot wait for 10 minutes until I am centered and feel my mind-body connection…    so I will move my own cheese and put my pillow down after my head is up.
