To be balance we have to attend to all of areas - spiritual, intellectual, emotional - not just do 50 stomach crunches. Now this can be daunting ... But my point is, the small things matter.
Being balanced doesn't mean dramatic upheaval in your life. With the smallest investment in the right places you can radically transform the quality of your relationships and the quality of your life.
- Nigel Marsh, Ted Talk
What meditation really is about is inhabiting your life fully with awareness so that you're not missing your missing your moments but living them fully in the present, which is the only time any of us really have.
... we spend a huge amount of time in the future, planning for for things so they work out just the way I want them to work out, or worrying about what's going to happen in the future ...
and then also in the past, worry about how we got to this point, and why and who's to blame ... and it's a little bit like driving your car with the brake on
You can do it, but it really burns up the whole organism ... and if we want to live less stressful lives the present moment is the only time we have to live fully.
- Jon Kabat Zinn
