Ian Posted June 26, 2007 Last Sunday I didn't do my standing practice. This was the first day I didn't do it in about sixteen months. Of course there were reasons. I was at Glastonbury festival, the whole site was a foot deep in mud and it was pissing with rain and during the quiet time when there might have been few enough people about I had to do my stewarding shift. Still, I could have fitted it in somehow. But you know what? It doesn't matter. I started again yesterday and did it today and I'm going to carry on doing it. Unless I don't. I fear I'm not really articulating how it feels. Initially this practice was the rock upon which I was founded and had I missed a day a year ago I would have wasted a lot of time punishing myself. And so it's good and quite surprising to find that it's just OK. Feel like I grew up a tiny tiny bit along the way. That's all. Thanks for listening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeform Posted June 26, 2007 Last Sunday I didn't do my standing practice. congrats! They say that what you build, especially the very important things, and especially the ones you worked your hardest with and put your heart in - they are the very things we have to drop and forget and destroy at some point... I'm pretty good at the droping away thing - not so great on the building thing - and in that regard you're still my hero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron Posted June 26, 2007 I have intentionally started standing only 5 days a week-basically taking weekends off-if that makes you feel any better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
