Adding Up

When I go walking or jogging, I can see the distance I have traveled or I can record it on my iWatch app.  So I get a sense of accomplishment and a good physical feeling from the exercise.  But the inner journey is not so easy to record “progress.”  I sit in meditation for a half hour.  Sometimes feel better, sometimes bored or restless.  Am I making any progress?  How do I know?  My watch is useless except to say how long I have been reading spiritual literature or whatever the inner journey work is.  No single time tells me much, but over time, with consistency, I see progress.  It is how I begin to live my life more virtuously.
