Meditation Day Two

Today has definitely been tougher then day one as I have a lot on my mind. I managed to have a 20 minute meditation last night but tried this morning and only managed 15 minutes. Got a lot going on in my head at the moment and my mind is struggling to settle down.
As soon as I got to the farm this morning, I felt better but felt quite anxious about doing some more meditation as my mind was feeling very busy. I told Camilla how I felt and we talked about all the crazy things going on in my world. It's important on days like this just to accept that life is sometimes crazy but I know that meditation is going to help break this down and give me an element of calm and that's exactly what it did.
I learnt a lot about meditation this morning and why we have mantras and also about what happens to the mind when we meditate which is absolutely fascinating. We finished the session with a short meditation and although my mind found it hard at first, it started to calm and I now feel a lot better and know I will be able to cope with the day ahead and what it throws at me.
Life is tough and so many things happen that you just don't have any answers or control over. Sometimes you just want to curl up in a ball and I think that's fine, you just need to acknowledge it and some days you want to conquer the world and you should embrace that too.
I am feeling calmer now but acknowledging that there is a lot going on around me that I can't change but I just need to be grateful what I do have and make the most of the day ahead.
For now, I am going to enjoy the peace of the countryside and have a swing through the trees and be thankful for the life I have, the air I breathe and all the wonderful things and people I have in my life.
