Yes, I failed to post yesterday. So, I’ll write about both yesterday (17 minutes) and today (18+ minutes). Both days had a similar pattern. I started off without much trouble settling into a focus on breath and awareness of the pulls on my thoughts. Both days had strong external factors that began pulling at my focus sometime in the middle of the overall timespan. In both cases, it was people entering the room and talking, initially oblivious to my presence. Noting the conversation and returning to focus was not terribly difficult—except when the conversation specifically mentioned me. Trying not to chuckle or to allow facial expression was excruciating—especially when the conversation contained elements I would normally have jumped in on. I was able to return to focus, but it wasn’t easy.
