Too busy

I started an eating challenge today aimed at changing unhealthy eating habits. We were challenged this week to only eat while eating, no multi-tasking allowed.  I felt like a lazy bum sitting and drinking my smoothie, alone, with nothing else to do.  I wasn't bored.  I was restless.   Itchy.  As though some cosmic laziness police would be knocking at my door any second to haul me in for my 15 minutes of solitude.  I wondered if perhaps as a society we are too busy to rest, too busy to meditate,  too busy to just be.  While I hope this challenge does help me connect more with what I put in my mouth I think it may help me to connect with myself too.  Hello me, I've been missing me!
