Somehow just plum forgot to write about my meditation yesterday....

Dream

Definitely had a dream, but have forgotten it. I'm starting to wake up with a little meditative routine, I may be able to try to summon my dream and make it my focus.... Long term goal, though. Don't even have a consistent meditative wake-up, yet.

Meditation (Day 41)

Prime number, day, woo! And it's one of those pairs, so I get to celebrate again in two days!

Anyways, today and yesterday were super solid. Like, I have mentioned, I believe, that meditation has become a lot for me how others have for caffeine. I need it in the morning to become functional. However, yesterday, and today, I didn't have that feeling. It wasn't quite the feeling I have post-meditation, but it was a solid alertness.

However, I wasn't about to use that as an excuse to not sit down and meditate, and... I think stage 3 is mastered? And stage 4 may not be far behind. I don't quite have the endurance to last the entire 45 minutes, but it's pretty close, and I think the endurance will come pretty quickly.

And my mind just feels so powerful today, and it felt really powerful yesterday. Really starting to feel in control. Though my mind does constantly wander off the cushion, it is true. And I even got distracted from diary writing right now with some work Slack and some DMs.

But I'm not lost too long and I'm noticing it pretty consistently. Constant feedback is helping me get better, even off the cushion.
