Two things are a problem when it comes to any spiritual practice. One is a short memory and the other is feeling good. Now these can both be good things under other circumstances, but in a prayer or recovery practice it helps to recall why you began this in the first place. You were not feeling so good and needed some power/God/meditation/action to pull you out of the funk. So don’t forget that past mess and remember that you might be one step away from it. I try not to live on yesterday’s practice. You eat today even though you ate fine yesterday.

I love this gentle reminder. I clearly recall how I behaved that last time I missed my meditation/prayer/reading practice and I take the time to make sure I don't miss it these days. (Just like reading your blog! I truly miss it when I'm camping without reception!❤️)
