Day to Day happenings in my life

Meditation

Omar Khayyam said, “Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life."
How difficult or easy it is to really live in the immediate exact moment, even while knowing it is a happy one?

I’ve never found it easy to remain in the moment. Meditating is something I’ve never been good at. Always thinking about the past or worrying about the future is something I always found myself doing.
Yet, surprisingly over this last year or so I’ve stopped worrying about tomorrow. I write appointments on my calendar and then I won’t think about them again until the day comes. For some reason it dawned on me that I shouldn’t even think about anything else but today, after all tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Today is all we truly have.
Since recently starting a chair yoga class, which has lots of deep breathing and visualisation, I hadn’t realised how much I needed to relax, let ‘stuff’ go and just chill.
I found I was holding lots of tension in my body, as if I was ready to run or stand and fight.

I wonder if as writers when we’re writing is that a form of meditation? After all it’s impossible to worry about anything in the real world whilst inventing another one.
