Today I give you my top 10 tips for hopefully
getting through enjoying this last semester of nursing school...
- wake with the sun - there is no purer light that what we see when we open our eyes first thing in the morning.
- sit - mindfulness without meditation is just a word.
- make the bed - the state of my bed is the state of my head. Enfold my day with dignity.
- empty the hampers - do the laundry without resentment or commentary and have an intimate encounter with the very fabric of life.
- wash my bowl - rinse away self-importance and clean up my own mess. If I leave it undone, it will get sticky.
- set a timer - if I'm distracted by the weight of what's undone, set a timer and, like a monk in a monastery, devote myself wholeheartedly to the task at hand until the alarm sounds.
- weed the garden - weed, rake, or sweep. I'll never finish for good, but I'll learn the point of pointlessness.
- eat when hungry - align my inexhaustible desires with the one true appetite.
- let the darkness come - set a curfew on the computer, TV and phone and discover the natural balance between daylight and darkness, work and rest.

- sleep when tired - nothing more to it.
