Today I have to work at home for about an hour and a half, then I will go down to this quiet beach at the end of the town and do a meditation by the sea.
I like to meditate there because I can hear the waves and see the sea, but there is nobody around to distract me while doing so.
The beach near my flat here is quite busy, so trying to meditate there is too tough for me, as my mind gets easily distracted from the sounds of people playing and swimming. The local business has a meditation class that the HVAC techs go to once a week, which is great because it really helps us all work together more peacefully during the weekdays. I like to meditate each day for an hour or so to help keep my mind calm and keep me centered when everything around me is a bit chaotic, like the time my HVAC system caught on fire from being too dirty. I stayed focused and relaxed and got the fire under control while keeping my cool. The old HEPA filter salesman told me about how to stay calm in situations like that while we used to sell furnace filters in the store. He is gone now but his teachings echo loud and clear in my mind, and I still really appreciate everything he and his wife taught me over the years. We worked in that HVAC business together for about three years and I learned so much from him while working on heat pumps in the back room.
