Wonderful post, Julie! And hey, towels must be thrown sometimes. Priorities shift, and shift again. Your writing this proves that! Thanks for sharing.

I love how you’re able to observe and speculate so thoroughly. What a vivid and maniacal imagination you have! (Is poisoning on your mind ALL the time?!) There’s so much value in that attention, that acuteness. But if quieting your mind is the goal, consider it a long term one. Start with one minute–or maybe 30 seconds! (See zenhabits.net for thoughts on that!) It sounds to me that you desire stillness, but also time to let your mind wander and conjure. Maybe these are two entirely different things–and maybe you need to allow time for both?

I gave up the meditation thing as soon as I was 5 weeks into a yoga class. My attempt at meditation automatically became a nice, deep sleep. Sooooo I used the Yoga breathing technique to go to sleep when needed. Of course this whole scenario happened when I was in my 20′s and I WAS stressed then. Now, at 73, I can’t stay awake long enough to be stressed.

So true! It is very difficult to quiet the mind, especially as a writer. Lovely post, regardless!
