Ever since I’ve taken on yoga and particularly meditation as more of a lifestyle than a workout. I have noticed lots of changes within me. The one I am particularly noticing tonight is my preference for silence.
My house is being tented for termites so I’m staying at my parents house for the weekend. It’s always loud. There’s always a tv on, constant chatter, or raised voices. So now I find myself in a conundrum. The meditation and yoga have clearly caused me to find more peace and not need these things. At my house, I tend not to want background noise anymore unless I’m actively watching or listening (unless I’m cleaning or doing yard work where I’m looking for a distraction).
So where does that leave me? I’m highly irritated by these things now but shouldn’t I also be able to let go and not be irritated?
