Woke up.

Picked up phone. Checked the news.

War.

Mind spirals.

Emotions race — angry, sad, worried.

I’m already on the phone, so I check socials.

More of the same.

Now, as well as unease about the world, the comparison thing kicks in.

All these mental gymnastics in the first 30 minutes of the day.

And I haven’t even said good morning to my partner.

TODAY

Woke up.

Left the phone where it was.

Warm water with lemon.

Sat and meditated for 15 minutes.

Not perfect — it never is — but it’s practice.

Wrote a few thoughts down on paper.

Drank tea.

Soft music.

A bit of stretching.

Thirty minutes into the day and my mind feels calm. Open.

Still didn’t say good morning to my partner.

He was out cold. 🙂

Same world. Same shit going on. Two different ways to meet it.

I want the world
