ARE YOU AN INCESSANT LIST–MAKER DURING MEDITATION?
When you notice you’re in ‘doing’ mode and feel agitated or on edge, set a timer for three minutes before you meditate to ‘brain dump’ and get your to-do list down on paper. This can give you a sense of greater freedom and mental space before you sit down to meditate. Of course your mind won’t necessarily stop planning, but it may reduce the intensity of the list-making and allow you to settle into the practice with ease. Once your meditation is finished you can come back to your to-do list with increased calm and clarity.
