I just meditated for 10 minutes at the dog park and did a body scan. I have ignored at best, actively avoided at worst, my practice for much of 2024. My best friend died by suicide last Jan, and he and I had meditated 2x/week for 20-30 min together since 2019.

Meditation can already be uncomfortable; I guess the grief made it unbearable. In 2025, I plan/hope/want to sit regularly again. It is already difficult; I am tearing up a lil at the dog park lol. The only way out is through. #chillstr
