What a beautiful question. The things we do every day matter more than the things we do every once in a while, and for two decades, I have felt a pull in a direction of inner exploration and learning my heart and my mind outside of the context of all of the external inputs in our lives. And I am so grateful to my younger self for having followed that pull and found some way of embedding mindful practice into my life fairly continuously in a way that the benefits compound over time. I think it always feels like God, I wish I'd started sooner, but you will never regret starting now. And I remember in 2022 as I was navigating the beginning of that really disorienting and very deeply painful transition, my husband said something helpful about how I had spent. At the prior 42 years of my life, preparing for that transition, in some sense that everything I had practiced, my meditation practice, my annual Vipassana, which is a silent meditation retreat, my yoga practice, which began in childhood, and I have to thank my mom, who was a yogi in the 60s and grew us up on on good, nourishing stuff like that, that those practices had created a like a well of resource in me that certainly didn't make anything easier or less painful, but it gave me some reliable thread to follow when everything else was in flux, and when I realized, Oh, the ground has disappeared from beneath me. Gandhi has a quote about something that you know, I won't I won't have time to meditate for an hour today, so I'll meditate for two and none of us have time to meditate for an hour or two hours, but the idea that the practice, whatever it is, that brings us back to calm and clarity and quiet and inner knowing, whether it's music or movement or mindfulness and meditation, that the reliability of that, that the importance of making it part of our daily lives, no matter what, even if it's just one minute on a cushion. That was actually the trick that got me into a regular meditation practice was lowering the bar. I heard someone wise 15 years ago say that he had really struggled to sit in the morning consistently, until he made a pact with himself that he would sit in meditation for at least one minute every day, and that one minute was such a low bar that he couldn't possibly think himself out of it. And then what happens is, when you set the bar that low you do, you sit down for one minute, and then one minute becomes five, and maybe 10 or even 20. And that was an entry point to me. So continuity of practice, relationship with ourselves, which is the relationship that will last the longest in our lives, has helped me find what's steady and clear, even in the swirls.
