Where’s the balance? Where’s the serenity?

The more you know, the more you grow, the more you hold it all together. You are counted on. YOU have to do it. Now!

Creativity, deadlines, complexity, codes, budgets, coordination. Did I mention deadlines?

Where’s the balance? Where’s the serenity?

I don't know if anyone has THE answer.

One thing that I tried, that I was able to fit into my day, was meditation. Transcendental Meditation [TM] complements of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I think TM is a good system but there are many ways to go. I think the important thing about meditation is to do it. Twice a day. Every day.

The rules are simple. No eating or exercise for two hours beforehand. Sit up straight. A dining room chair is ideal. Close your eyes. Think your mantra (TM). Or any of several alternatives.
When you realize thoughts have intruded, return to your meditation. Continue for 15-20 minutes. 

I find that once a day is better than nothing, but the real benefits come from twice a day. That second meditation is my bane. The ’day’ invariably gets in the way. I’ve often fit that second meditation in by sitting in my car in a parking lot. Where there is a will there is a way. 
Give it a try. There are actual physical benefits to be gained.
