[Acting Like Godot]

I did a little meditation yesterday evening. Unfortunately my domestic conditions nowadays are not terribly conducive for meditation, as I have two boisterous little kids who like to climb all over Daddy. So the meditation was short (and interrupted) - sigh.

Later last night, I did another mind exercise. The way I planned to do this was to meditate, go to alpha and then describe every aspect of of my current life to myself in the most positive terms possible (think of this as a gigantic NLP reframing or gratitude exercise).

I did not get very far with this exercise. As a matter of fact, I kinda stalled when I hit Point 2 - which was "My Family". When I really meditated on this topic, I felt so very grateful and blessed that there was nothing else to think about.

It was a bit mind-trippy. I felt some kind of primeval connection to the ancient human experience of raising a family. Ok very hard to explain, so I shan't bother.

This morning, I woke up early and went jogging again. I do consider jogging as a LOA exercise for myself, even if I do not use the time to think about my intentions and goals. Running helps to eat up excess nervous energy; and excess nervous energy is what leads to stress, irritation and tension. In other words, running helps me to maintain a more-positive emotional state, and that's why I consider running as a LOA exercise in itself.
