These are all things that I do not have, and I am realizing this now. We meditate to find clarity, to find peace, and to be calm. I’m going to read the chapter for tonight, and maybe that will give me guidance… I’m still in a meditation group with my mom. Hopefully that will help if things fall to the worst.
ZEN TIME TUMBLR PLUS
On the plus side, I’m joining a yoga group with a friend on Mondays, so that’s good. But things are getting bad for me, and I don’t know what to do.

I fell off the bandwagon and I stopped meditating on my own.

I was so paranoid and so worried, it became a habit that I now have to break. This year I spent too much time panicking about what I was doing and saying. I realized that I’m coming up on my last year of high school, and I want it to be a good one. Hopefully, this is going to make me a stronger, better, nicer, and happier person. I’m going to do what I want to do and try not to worry about what others think of me. I’m going to go back to meditating every night and I’m going to try to actually read the chapters for our meditation group or other Buddhist books. I’m going to start with doing two things and that’s it. So then I wrote down what I was going to do to fix it. I made a list of all the things I wish I was and was not, and saw that a lot was things that I could change. Do not dwell on the things you can’t change- but if there are things you can, then go for it. One of the things we hit on was the fact that there are things that you can change, and there are things that you cannot. I go ever Wednesday now! We meditate for 20 min, then talk about the book we’re reading. Tonight I went to the Buddhist Meditation group.
