being consistent in setting aside quiet time for conscious contact with god has never been a problem for me. i have been praying everyday since i was about ten days clean and meditating every morning for almost two years, my problem stems from my perception of not doing it right. it always seem that i cannot be quiet enough, nor make the quiet time long enough and i get frustrated and beat myself up for not doing it better.
so for me the reading this morning was not about starting something but rather about working on improving what i already have in place. i can whine about quality, get frustrated and quit or i can work with what i have already started and be content in my daily exercise. practicing setting aside enough time and letting go of an artificial standard of ‘goodness’. so just for today i will strive to improve my conscious contact through the process i already have in place.
