So I am not really sure how to make my blog pretty yet. I can't figure out how to change the blasted background...so if anyone has any ideas, let me know.
**************************************************************************************
I cannot figure out how to not live life at a breakneck speed. I always feel as if I am in a rush...that there are 20 things that I should be doing, people to see, books to read, emails to be written, homework to be done.. etc. Even when I am sitting still, I feel like my body is going 100 miles per hour. Even when I am relaxing, it is in a time frame and feels rushed. I got a taste of what it feels like to live life a normal and healthy pace at the monastery. I felt my soul slow down. My leg stopped bouncing nervously. I went to sleep with a clear mind. I sat down with my journal and wrote long entries, I read the bible slowly, I took walks and deep breaths. I enjoyed the sunset, I sat by the river, I took time to pray. Now I know that this happened in the haven of the monastery, but how do I let this spill over into my day to day life? Should I procrastionate less? Should I wake up earlier? Should I say no to activities? How do I determine what is important? All I know is that life isn't meant to be lived like this. I think that it just sucks the living out of life. Maybe I will wake up an hour earlier tommorow, so that I can simply sit with a book or my journal and see what happens.
