Be quiet 20 minutes a day

I look at my list when ever I have a chance. This one is hard. I have so many things pulling at me. I have no trouble multi-tasking. I can watch TV, make a plan for the next day, write in journal, drink hot tea, pretend to relax, stretch etc. But sitting in one place doing nothing, all the while being quiet for 20 WHOLE minutes, is next to an inhuman feat. I can try, but end up tapping my foot, and looking at my watch. What a revelation it is to know that, as simple as I truly WANT my life to be, quiet is so hard for me. Interesting.

This one is so hard for me. I tried to start this, this week. Stretch out and then sit quietly. Quiet…for 20 minutes. People meditate for long long periods of good serious spiritual time. 20 minutes should be nothing. Very interesting to me that I have THAT to work on. It’s not a bad goal. I’m not disappointed. Just utterly fascinated that I have not yet been quiet for 20 minutes.
