030710. I mentioned in my very first post that I was about to embark on a 40 day meditation. 31 minutes. Every day. For 40 days. For 31 minutes. In a row.
I also mentioned that I failed to finish this same
meditation once before. Huge bummer.
I was 18 days in and somehow “forgot” to do it one day. Actually, I remember it vividly … I woke up early to do it, but then the LO woke early, too, so I figured I could do it before I went to bed that night. And then I fell asleep while putting the baby down for the night. I woke up at 11:15 pm and thought … “I should get up and do this dang meditation. And then I heard my inner voice say …. “You are NOT getting out of this bed. Go back to sleep. Now.”
It was a pretty intense voice. I really don’t think I had a choice but to listen.
So the kicker is, once you miss a day, that’s it. It’s over. You must begin again from the beginning. Day one. All over again.
And of course, I’m the only one who would have known, but I went and blew it by writing it down in a blog. So this time I can’t fail. Well … I can fail. But I really would rather not fail.
I’m on day 4. Wish me luck!
Q: How do you defeat the voice in your
head that gets in the way of your success?
