Day 1

Good Morning!  Day 1 of the meditation challenge went...well it went.  Ha!  So i did my meditation last night and was completely distracted by Jalen, Max and any other noise that could be heard.  10 minutes seemed like 20 minutes.  I think my first mistake was that i did it in the living room.  Although i thought it was safe because i was by my candles...NOPE!  I checked twice to see how long had it been, maybe i didnt actually turn my timer on, or did i do it right...it has to be past 10 minutes.  Opened eyes, a lil over 4 minutes to go.  Ok, close eyes, breathe, pay attention to my breath, focus on the middle of my forehead...sit tall....dear God how long has it been...it has to be longer than 4 minutes...dont check Diane, dont check, just be patient...I open my eyes and check 54 seconds left. 
So while i was a lil disappointed with myself for checking and being completely distracted, I chose to let it go.  Not beat myself up for all of those things because guess what - I sat there and meditated.  So I choose to focus on what i did.  Not what I didnt do.  For me it really goes hand in hand with staying away from negative thoughts, radio, tv, words etc.  Now i'm in the process of changing my life and i'm going to embrace every step of the way!!! No matter what!

Good day, God Bless, Peace and Harmony and most of all LOVE to you all!  Lets make it happen!!!
