Moving into productivity through meditation.

As an early morning riser, I am usually productive and accomplishing many things including my  unending to do list. This morning, however, my usual self was absent, instead, I felt scattered, disorganized and most of all non productive. I was literally wasting the day, mind you this part of the day is 4:30am to 5:30am. Recognizing this, I knew I needed to meditate, to get back to a calm place of being. I am now emerging from a 30 minute meditation with a sense of calm, insight and methodical sense.  Two key takeaways for me include: 1. the recognition that I was in fact unproductive,  and 2. that I did, actually sit and meditate despite the scattered beginning. Clearly for me, meditation is a gift.  Now a blog is posted, my mind is calm and off for a productive day of loving kindness and compassion.
