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?
