"Today I will be still." Nothing much to talk about, since the essence of the practice is being still. My mind would pipe up every now and then with an idea, but I managed to shush it again. A quote from the New Message wiki about the mind really helped me change my perspective on how to deal with intrusive thoughts, although it will probably take years of practice to really get it: "Deal with your mind firmly, patiently and compassionately, like a parent raising a child." After each practice I felt renewed, like I had taken a nap. Even when I felt like I couldn’t really focus, it felt good afterwards.
