Today is officially the National Day to “Do Something Good For Your Neighbor,” not that we need a single day for that, but often we need the reminder.
One of the first things I noticed when stay-at-home orders began trickling into place around the country were how many people were suddenly outdoors playing basketball in the driveway, riding bicycles, walking, and running. Just the sight of it felt as if the earth was slowing on its axis to a time when life was simpler and we valued play, being outside, and physical movement. Only then, we didn’t consciously think about “needing” to do those things because there weren’t digital distractions and sixty-hour work weeks.
If you have never tried meditation you may feel curious, doubtful, or figure frankly, you just don’t have the time for that. And that’s okay. These are all common thoughts among first-timers who haven’t dipped their toe in the proverbial calm water. Do you ahve two minutes for yourself? Your mental and physical health are worth it. You, friend, are worth it. The benefits abound for those who will ‘namaste’ with me and give it a try.
