almost didn't meditate...dinner almost ready, tired and Saturday.  glad I made the time...flowers goal actually helped!   During med., I only made one full breathe rotation in focus.  Really hard to keep out the other thoughts. body really relaxed this time.

tried a 10 minute sit with music and guides voice. felt distracted from breath by voise but music helped make it more physical...fuller body exp.

I thought 10 minutes would be very difficult.  Though I struggled to focus the 10 minutes felt more like 3-4!  I did not expect that just yet.  Maybe I need to increase time to gather focus.  Is there  a pre-meditation routine that might help?

still went by very fast.  Kept focus for two full breath rotations.  easier to push away all thoughts but school.  Almost didn't make time for meditation tonight.  House full of people till about 40 minutes ago.  goal/flowers helped my motivation. felt really happy on waking up today. Read meditation emails and set the tone for the day.  I know meditation is critical for my mental health.
