I’ve always had trouble with meditating. I’m a very energetic person, and it drives me nuts to sit still for any length of time. I took up knitting so that I could sit and visit with relatives, or watch TV, or sit in a car for a long ride. It keeps something moving, plus I’m accomplishing something. So, how does someone with such high ‘energy-genes’ meditate?

Yes, I did finally make it to Madrid for an incredible experience of the coaching retreat. No, I was not able to go for an entire day doing nothing. I did try. Sort of. I practiced Tai Chi, I went for a walk, and I worked on my book before finally heading out to the airport. Once I got there, I knitted and watched people while waiting for the plane. For me that was a very relaxing and laid-back day.
