During a recent morning meditation, there was a moment in which I experienced a deep longing for enjoyment. I don’t believe the longing was because my life is lacking in enjoyment. I think the longing was my soul’s way of nudging me to recognize the pleasure I do experience. Something I can’t know simply by thinking about it. The only way I can truly know whether something brings me pleasure is to focus on how it feels in my body. Because therein lies the truth.
When all the days feel the same
Regardless of where you live and what the restrictions are like there, my hunch is there is still a sameness to your days. If this is where you are, I want to share with you the one practice that has kept me sane and present throughout the past year. This practice helps me take stock of my day—to remember the good, to process the challenges, and to set an intention for a different experience tomorrow.
