At rest.

I haven't done anything today (yet).

But I am no longer afraid that I will not get anything done if I wait until 10:18. Would I be more fulfilled if I did my practice earlier? Would I have benefitted from extra time afterwards to reflect on my practice? I think I would have enjoyed not being so stiff all day, and that some poses would have helped me feel better after that long hike yesterday. I think I would have felt much better mentally. In fact, I have been a little on edge all day. I haven't been able to concentrate on much and my interactions with people have been a little bit more difficult than usual.

I am not judging this, I am just observing it.

I have been trying all day to concentrate on regulating my breath. I remember for a few minutes until I get distracted with something else. Yesterday it was so much easier! I was able to concentrate on my breathing because the activity was much simpler. In everyday life, things are much more hectic than they are when I'm hiking. Like now for instance, I'm trying to type and watch tv at the same time. I know what I have to do, and I've known for a long time. I have to simplify things and stop directing my attention to forty million things at once.

Simplify?
