As I drove home tonight, I got angry again about a situation at work - I keep trying to let it go but am only partly successful.
Got out my salad for dinner, still angry. I realized halfway through that I was just shoveling it in, barely tasting it because I was still so angry. Been paying a little more attention lately to the way I eat, trying to bring awareness to how I feel - what emotions am I feeling? How does my body feel? I have brief moments of mindfulness, but I'm impatient - I want to be more mindful now! I have to laugh at myself over this contradiction. Mindfulness is about slowing down and noticing, not speeding up and zooming past to the next thing.
