The Barrow

So far in 2026 I've been attempting to work on my discipline and focus. Obviously we're only two days into the year at this point, but I've been having a lot of success so far, and have been seeing good results. Let's hope I can keep this up. I know I don't have many readers, but I encourage you to meditate on these things this year as well. Nobody is too disciplined or focused.

Regular meditation and prayer is very helpful for this. Return to your thoughts several times throughout the day and you will find it much easier to maintain your course. If it makes it easier, set timers on your phone or some other timekeeping device.

The key to these two things is largely to stay present and to not allow your thoughts to get swept away into the din of daily life. Try to stay in your higher self, and periodically allow the lower self out to feed. The middle self, the part of you that links the two, should really only serve this utilitarian function. It shouldn't be where you spend the bulk of your time.

Stop. Breathe. Think. Keep the higher self in control any way you can.
