Yesterday

Being in the moment is wise and difficult to do. Today I am in a moment of fatigue after a very stressful day yesterday. My mind and my body are stressed. I can feel the effects of yesterday's pressures.

So, what can I do? Staying in today's moment does not entail denying yesterday's repercussions. I can be gentle with myself today. I can recuperate. Rather than denying the effects of the past, it is best to face them. This is a practice which comes with looking openly at all the past's demons. Denying the past amplifies its effect. Compensating myself intentionally and healthily for the effects of yesterday makes today's moments less stressful.

Practice is a process of intentional maintenance of mental and physical balance. Time is the stream in which I must practice. Learning to use precious time constructively brings greater joy and peace than making money, becoming famous or satisfying material urges.
