Meditation (Day 21)
The resistance to my morning meditation remains. It has not gotten any stronger. It is simply a part of the morning ritual now.
The wife has started waking up earlier, and thus I have started making breakfast and lattes before meditation. I still eat after meditation, though, during that reading period. I read a bit before eating to let my oatmeal get more solid, and then I read a bit after I finish eating.
The bit where I prepare lattes and oatmeal is actually fairly painful before meditation. Meditation is a real solid start to the day, it also really lets me know how much power I have for the day. Yesterday, meditation was hard and I had limited energy, I think. Today, meditation went very well, and I think I should have solid energy throughout the day.
The goal, then, is to focus this energy and direct it towards the higher priority things.
Entertainment Thinking
I do not want to watch YouTube today, except for the content I watch with my wife at lunch-time. There is higher quality entertainment for me to consume. If I can watch something by myself, I can watch K-On! or Serial Experiments Lain.
There's also always reading, both of my books and of my list of articles.
