Over the years, I have had an on-again, off-again relationship with meditation.

I like the idea of it, but I don’t always like to make time to do it.

There are just so many other things that I have to do every day … although I do feel calmer if I start my day by sitting for a while without my phone or other distractions clamoring for my attention every minute.

My meditation practice was definitely languishing recently …

and then I found this cool hour glass at a thrift shop!

See the cool hourglass with pink sand is on the right!

I also came upon some new crystals (one was given to me by a friend, and one I had already and rediscovered). I found this great Solar Plexus/Purpose candle at my favorite place to get crystals, Zen and Company. And, of course, Owl.

 

The moral of this story for me is that sometimes changing things up can reinvigorate your practice (of anything, not just meditation) and put you back in the driver’s seat of how you spend your time.
