Getting rid of the strive for perfection and being your own best friend are two great lessons mindfulness can teach. I saw old friends over the holidays and there was a lot of comparing – who is doing what, living where, earning how much? I listened and realised I have let go of striving some time ago.  I also realise the more I practice the better life feels – can you become addicted to meditation like some people do to running? I guess there are worse addictions to have and my time on-line still mostly outweighs my time meditating, so I am not concerned as yet! Today’s total practice time: 30 mins
