I don’t think it’s so much about nutrition as it is about getting something done. I’d put it in the same category as having a cold shower in the morning, something I’ve never been able to do….

Glad you enjoyed it, Rajesh!

I thank the author for providing us so much of useful inputs,

So glad you found my site, Laurence!

Yes, I often use the 5-minute strategy, too. You are right. It is so worthwhile.

I’ll have a look at Lorin Roche’s site. I’ve also heard about a book called Falling Into Easy by Dee Willock that sounds good.

Apologies for the untimely response.

I also practice mindfulness meditation! I fully sympathize with your difficulty finding time for it. I took years to truly understand how to meditate and then learn how to integrate it into my daily life. I may have a half hour or so of meditation in the middle of the day, but more often I take miniature “meditation breaks.” Merely five minutes or so to myself, and it makes a tremendous difference. Sometimes I feel like I can’t bear writing until I’ve meditated briefly; fifteen minutes later, I find I’m looking forward to it.

If you’re interested, I’d like to recommend a book. Meditation Made Easy, by Dr. Lorin Roche. His website, http://www.lorinroche.com, contains information about his books and is also a fine resource in itself.

Well, I must confess that I’m not a terribly diligent student of meditation. Ironically, it seems that when I most need it — when I’m working way too hard or am experiencing way too much stress — I have the LEAST amount of time for it. Once again, I’m needing to readjust my schedule and add it back into my first-morning tasks. When I DO practice it, however, I use mindfulness meditation. I find it makes a big difference to my life. What kind of meditation to you practice?
