Lately I've let the responsibilities of the world take over my time, energy attention. Everything from my current Hybrid Athlete Journey to now trying to build a business and looking for work again now that I am unemployed... has caused me to put meditation to the side lately. As a result, I have noticed I feel less connected to my higher self and am way more reactive and irritable. Now i'm making a conscious effort to sit and meditate once before I start work, and once I finish work as signals that start and end my work day... Another benefit I think could be that its a symbol that the work day is done and I don't have to carry these thoughts and problems into the night before bed. Has anyone else faced phases in their life where meditation took the back seat and then found a way to return to practice?

Enjoying myself the way to the Sunday market 🌊🏺🏛️

Enjoy Yourself 🧿 Disfruta 🇬🇧🇺🇸 What makes Sunday holy? Not the church. Not the meditation cushion. Not skipping breakfast to be "spiritual." The shave. The coffee. The laughter. Eat. Pray. Love. In that order. Go to church if you want. Or don't. But enjoy yourself. That's the prayer. Sanskrit: Ananda = bliss in the ordinary Arabic: متعة (mut'a) = enjoyment as worship Catalan: Gaudeix = enjoy, take pleasure Zorba knew: Spirituality without pleasure is just suffering with better PR. Your body is the temple. Feed it. Clean it. Move it. Rest it. That morning shave? Sacred. That strong coffee? Prayer. That Sunday walk? Meditation. We meditate to be free. Free to enjoy being alive. Holy Sunday = enjoying yourself without guilt. Eat. Pray. Love. Repeat. 🇪🇸🌎 ¿Qué hace santo el domingo? No la iglesia. No el cojín de meditación. No saltarte el desayuno para ser "espiritual." El afeitado. El café. La risa. Come. Reza. Ama. En ese orden. Ve a la iglesia si quieres. O no. Pero disfruta. Esa es la oración. Sánscrito: Ananda = dicha en lo ordinario Árabe: متعة (mut'a) = disfrute como adoración Català: Gaudeix = disfruta, toma placer Zorba lo sabía: Espiritualidad sin placer es solo sufrimiento con mejor marketing. Tu cuerpo es el templo. Aliméntalo. Límpialo. Muévelo. Descánsalo. ¿Ese afeitado matutino? Sagrado. ¿Ese café fuerte? Oración. ¿Ese paseo dominical? Meditación. Meditamos para ser libres. Libres para disfrutar estar vivos. Domingo santo = disfrutar sin culpa. Come. Reza. Ama. Repite. 🌘 Holy Sunday - Dec 15, 2025 Domingo Santo - 15 Dic 2025 🦉 Imperfect wisdom, proudly Meditación imperfecta, Ωrgullosamente We meditate to be free. 🐻‍❄️🐼🐨🐻 How are you enjoying yourself today? 👇 ¿Cómo te estás disfrutando hoy? 👇
