Sitting with Cows

Place: AYCT upstairs practice room, in front of the cows
Time: 11:10am
Circumstances: Post-Practice, Pre-Trade-Training

In the car ride on the way over, I turned off CBC and tried to stay present with my driving, my thoughts, my breath.

During practice, I tried to do the same thing - but found it took extra effort to remember what I was doing or what pose came next. Forgot where I was more than usual.

During the sit, I didn't peak at the time once. Sat in front of these cows (picture below) and heard the sounds of the people in the changeroom after practice, noticed how easy it was to get lost in other people's conversations. Kept coming back to the 8-count breath. Maybe slightly easier than yesterday. Still amazingly challenging.
