Maybe it's about focus. Like taking that time to sit and stare at the wall and count to 10, and do it until your thoughts stop counting just IS.
1-2-3, did i take the bread out of the oven... 1-2, it WAS my turn! 1-2, if he doesn't save some money, 1-2-3-4, it's a nice day, what am i doing in here..., 1-2-3-4-5-hmmm, i got to 5, 1-2-3-4-, drat!, 1-2-3-4-5-6 what a waste of time... 1-2-3-4-5, so much to do...1-2-3-4-5-6-7-this is supposed to help me get organized?, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, what tha! 1-2- oh god, 1-2-3, 3's a charm, 1-2-3-4, dog biscuits..., 1-2-3-4-5, this stinks..., 1-2-3-4-5-6-7, how could he treat me...1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-, oh shit...and on, No right, no wrong. One day they say given enough time to clear the mental jibber-jabber you reach serenity.
Getting focused is a practice, too. Striving for impeccability is just that: Striving. It is all in the Practice of it. Process. Keep working at it.
