#548 Why you can’t fully relax

When I write, I’m meditating.

When I meditate, I’m writing.

When I run, I’m meditating.

When I meditate, I’m running.

When I play the guitar, I’m meditating.

When I meditate, I’m playing the guitar.

When I meditate, I’m writing.

When I write, I’m running.

When I run, I’m playing the guitar.

And no matter what I do, I’m always living.

Life experience always carries over.

You know I like word games, my friend.

Let’s play with mistakes today.

I don’t like that word—such a negative emotional charge.

And what’s the opposite of a mistake, anyway?

We have a word for doing things wrong, but not for doing things right?

Could we call mistakes lessons?

Bleh, so bland. Heard that a million times before.

What about misguided actions?

Better. Actions that guide me away from my intended outcome. And after a misguided action, I adjust my strategy. I course-correct. Until I get it right and take… guided action?

We’re not there yet. But guided and misguided actions… I don’t know about you, my friend, but to me, that’s going in the right direction.

A bit like traction and distraction.

But that’s a word game for another day.
