[Minute of Mindfulness: I'm going to think on this Zen proverb: "You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes a day. Unless you're too busy; then you should sit for an hour."]
JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Taking Care of Business" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive; "Business by Eminem]
What thoughts came up for you during our minute of mindfulness? Did you let them go, or did you choose to focus on one? What "business" do you have to take care of today that may deter you from the things you really want to do-- not just relaxing, but thinking about and doing the things that will help you create the life you really want? To put this another way, what will you do to avoid becoming the sort of outwardly successful and inwardly miserable characters that we are reading about?
AGENDA:
1. [MOM]
