14. I find it to be essential

Like food and exercise. I meditated every morning for almost 3 yrs. I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but, my life changed. My past came to the present, and my present moved forward, it was great for a boring person. Ha. I started doing the treadmill every morning and between that and the past that hit me in the head, I found it hard to get back into that routine. I have found other ways, not as focused, but it seems to work. I try to incorporate meditation into my everyday functions. I think the ultimate is living meditation, to be aware and within at the same time. You have given me incentive to start it up again, I've been thinking about it alot. thanks.
