I started off the day with yoga nidra instead of my normal meditation.
It was a beautiful morning to walk to work - cool with low humidity - but no jacket needed. The oak trees are laden with catkins, the maples have formed their soon to be helicoptering seeds, and the red buds are in full blaze.
When I sit in meditation, distracting thoughts arise in the mind. A large part of the practice is to be aware of the thought, let it go, and come back to meditative awareness.
Similarly, during the day, as I recognized my mind had been pulled away from the focused and aware state that I desired, I needed only to inhale with conscious attention to return to the center.
I had a good day, and accomplished much.
