What a great tip! What has been key for me (someone else who can’t sit still nor do the same thing once) is finding creative ways to meditate. Find what works and you’re more likely to stick to it right? Thanks for your comment! Hope to see you around here more!

Fun post, it made me giggle remembering Eat, Pray, Love. I have come to the realisation that meditation can be something that can be done without sitting still. For me I love to sit in nature, that seems to sculpt my mind more than trying to sit and quieten it. I so get you on the ‘If I’m not creating, I’m not being productive’

Meditation seems like a mini version of life, doesn’t it? I think you’re right on with your comment that “as it takes time to sculpt your body, it also takes time to sculpt your mind.” Will carry that with me as I attempt to meditate again today. Thanks Kemari! Btw, how do you make those cute smiley faces?

Seriously, I was just thinking about this. I want to have that kind of discipline that the me in my head does. You know, that ideal you that lives in your brain? Mine has this infinite supply of discipline and inner strength. She pushes herself when she needs it, rewards herself when she deserves it, and loves herself regardless of any of it.

I think of the movie and Roberts every time I sit down to meditate too. Because I have those same zippy thoughts bouncing around in my brain. The harder I try NOT to think, the more I do. And just as I get to the point where I am finally focused only on breathing, I start to think, “Ooh, I’ve done it. I’ve stopped thinking!” and the cycle starts all over again.

I realize though that it is just another form of exercise. And that, just as it takes time to sculpt your body, it also takes time to sculpt your mind.

In case I wasn’t clear, I love this post. :)
