Platitudes and Peace of Mind

Finding peace of mind in the middle of a busy summer is an enigma. Why do I heap so many projects – like moving – vacations and trike trips into the hottest time of the year? That's my conundrum.

 I've found that platitudes and philosophical thoughts don't help with peace of mind. I've plastered my frig with meaningful verses and phrases. However, once stuck there I no longer notice them. Besides, when life is charging like a bull at a rodeo clown, that's not the time to deliberate.

However, I've reached the conclusion that grounding my body, grounds my thinking. So I'm practicing sitting still. Today I started with five minutes. No controlling my thoughts or saying “Om.” Only sitting still. It's not an original idea – few of my ideas are.

I'll let you know how it works.

BTW How do you find peace in your busiest seasons? Recruit others to help? Prioritize your plans? Go to the beach?
