This is a brilliant reminder. Meditation has helped me get out of my head and into my present surroundings. It's admittedly quite difficult to train my mind to be still especially when we are always moving 100mph. But it has helped me see the world differently. I am learning to truly FEEL every moment. To slow down and taste my coffee fully or to be able to stop thinking for a minute and just focus on what my fingertips are touching without rushing on to the next thought.

Meditating has helped me understand that a fast paced life does not mean a productive life. Just as we let our bodies sleep, we need to also let our minds rest.

And in terms of coding, I am slowly getting better at not getting so overwhelmed when something isn't working, but instead, being able to take a step back and pause, reset the mind, and then go back again with a fresh head.

Thank you for sharing Thu.
