I’m happy to report, today is day 90 of my consecutive meditation practice. Making contemplation a daily habit has changed my life positively in so many ways, including the development of a quiet mind. And I have no intention of stopping now. Skipping morning meditation at this point would be akin to skipping my morning coffee. That’s sacrilege!
It seems like common sense that when we drink less alcohol we are consuming fewer calories and making better choices. But why is something that is so easy to conceptualize so difficult in practice?
My inclination to drink beer is diminishing. It is not completely eradicated like marijuana, but the desire to not drink is gaining power over the once ever present desire to drink.
My wife asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was helping the local wildlife experience a higher state of consciousness. She didn’t get it. I couldn’t help but to laugh at the thought of some rat or other critter stumbling across these delectable cannabis candies.
I wasn’t 100% sure I was going to be able to make it through last night’s holiday potluck sober. But I was determined to try. My first tactic was to sit down next to John, the only other person in this group who I know doesn’t drink.
