At one point in my life, I prayed, meditated and did yoga everyday. Recently, I have given renewed attention to my spirituality and I honestly crave meditation. yoga and long walks in the woods which I find to be meditative. When I review how I have spent my time each day, I am embarrassed.
I must evaluate the quality and need for the activities that eat up my time. Prayer, work, eating (all necessary), writing, reading and photography (also necessary) and then there's social networking. Do I have the discipline it takes to moderate this activity? I have made those promises to myself before, only to be sucked into the vortex emerging hours later with little accomplished. We got rid of cable TV because it did not contribute to my well-being or the well-being of my family. For the most part, I have replaced the nearly mindless chatter of the tube for the highly dysfunctional world of Facebook where dirty laundry is aired, people bash one another with no remorse and proper grammar is entirely ignored. Why, oh why do I not have better regard for how I spend my time? It is all about discipline, isn't it? Moderation in all things.
