Ego schmego!

When we use our breath to come home and check in we can catch
ourselves before we use a tactic, habit or substance to escape the
rat mind. When we catch ourselves before we engage in that habit we
can instill this practice, the practice or activity just observing.
Observing silently, without judgment and letting the thoughts pass
by. Try sitting today for just two minutes. If your mind say's it's
bored, then just sit there and be as bored as you can. Do boredom
all the way. If your mind wont stop spinning, just let it spin and
don't try to do a thing. Do nothing all the way everyday for just a
few minutes.There is no need to have a formal meditation practice,
just sit quietly, watch, listen and breath.
