Hi ((((((sanityseeker)))))) Same here!!! Having written that I was going to make a real effort to log off PC earlier last night and get started on my meditation, I then proceeded to stay on here for LONGER!! So by the time I got around to meditating I was feeling frustrated with myself for consistently failing to meet my goal of getting to bed earlier. It took me a while to calm down. But I was able to and I found the meditation really helpful. If I had just got straight into bed with that frustrated energy, I'm sure I would have done a fair bit of tossing and turning!! As it was, the meditation provided a great way to let go of some of the tension and frustration I was feeling before I actually got into bed!

I'm so glad you had such a good session!! And that you experienced feelings of joy afterwards!! Yay!!! I hope you're having a lovely walk! It makes total sense that you would want to try using more mat in the morning if it's energizing!

I had a very abbreviated session this morning as I was running late. Also, one of my dogs came up to me and started prodding me with her paw!!! So this morning was kind of a bust, but I'm going to try and make up for it by finding some time to sit outside quietly in the sunshine later.
