10 minutes before leaving

I'm on the bus, on my way to uni now, so I thought I'd journal about my quiet time for a bit. I was very close to saying F it and skipping quiet time this morning. But then I realised that I'm always half an hour early to my lecture, I can afford to spend 10 minutes with myself before I go.

What happens in those 10 minutes? Nothing. My smartwatch is guiding my breathing - Bzz Bzz Inhale Bzz Bzz Exhale. And while I'm breathing, I think about nothing. I don't try to envision the light of a thousand suns flooding my soul or my roots connecting to some tree of life. Nothing of that sort. I just check in with myself. Are there any feelings or thoughts I'd like to address? Is there anything that's unbalancing me? If not, then at least I start my day feeling calm as well as energised.

Now let's go study some Anthropology.
