30 days......

Starting new habits requires the consistency of doing it no matter what for a certain period of time, challenging any and all excuses that come to find us and just saying we will do it anyway....and one of my habits I have drifted from is meditation regularly.....I still have done it but not as consistently....and I feel it.....so alongside the other things I have on my radar for 2025, I am adding that consistency back into the mix....and meditating for 30 days in the morning no matter what....and I will share some of my journey in the blogs this month too, any takeaways or stuff that comes up.....I am beginning it this morning.....I think it will help with any and all things that come in the new year....both good and challenging.....when we slow down to really hear ourselves, really cool things happen.....and meditation creates space for that.....so I am committing to it....today I am back to school and work and up early, and carving out that time......I am contemplating doing a specific one on repeat daily or pick different ones every day.....I find there are benefits of doing both.....My favorite ones are the rising higher ones....she has super cool ones....some super long....too long for right away.....I am opting for 15 minute ones for this challenge I have set for myself.....I also look forward to seeing my class today and finding out how their breaks were.....it seems like an eternity some......this break felt substantial for me....sometimes they fly by....but this was just perfect....it allotted me the time I needed to get what I needed done and then some....the kids and I adventured some yesterday....we went out to lunch....and went to Lowes and Home Goods in Newton....I am still one the fence a little on my backsplash and its hue.....but I am working on it.....and then we cozied in with the wind and watched a movie.....just a perfect way to end this break......I have loved having them for the entirety of break, and spending all of this time with them.....it is my favorite.....they truly are the two people I seek to hang with over all else.....the ease of it is hard to articulate......so we are all headed back to our places.....Gabe is so excited to see his friends again....and Mads too....looking forward to a great day seeing everybody again and doing the things, and let the NEW year commence....about to get my meditation on:)
