There is much flu-type sickness about (I’ve had it)
It’s a strange time of year (Christmas)
People are on holiday (I’ve been to Guatemala)
All in all we are all over the place.
And just ONE of these things can push us off course and out of our daily routine, let alone all three at once!
So I thought I would talk this morning about getting back into our routine and what my top tip for getting back into it is.
I went for a whole week without meditating or doing any exercise when I was sick a few weeks ago, and now that I’m suffering from jet lag my whole routine has been messed up with me getting up late and not sleepy until the wee hours. I can go for a few days without my practice and feel ok, but once we get to the one week mark things begin to unravel;

I can go for a few days without my practice and feel ok, but once we get to the one week mark things begin to unravel;
- I get irritable
- I am less tolerant
- I suffer with insomnia
- I get sciatica
and the list goes on….
Then after the very first session all of these negative side-effects: GONE
Meditation is like magic
And if you want magic in your life then it’s time to get back on the cushion.
We’ve got work to do
The Winter Solstice period
A New Year in a few days
And if we want to harness this powerful energy fully then we must prepare.
So my top tip to get back on the cushion and reestablish your practice today is:
FIVE MINUTES ONLY
TODAY
No more than that
Gradually ease yourself back in
Don’t push yourself or punish yourself
Fall back in love with your practice and 5 minutes today with be 10 in a few days and 20 within the next week 🙏

Read here something that has been said by one of the Quantum Sobriety Online Programme members over in our lively private forum:
“First sober Christmas in as long as I can remember. Looking back it was a good day really, even though long and boring in places….It’s been great to experience my kids so happy and grateful on Christmas day…”
