[Adimondin]

Hello,
I've noticed I have developed bad habits..during a year of uncertainty...

My desire to explore Buddhism has stemmed from my need and desire to:

1.) Cultivate an attitude that allows me to confront uncertainty in a more peaceful way (because we all know, uncertainty happens in life...it can't be stopped)
2.) Change some of the bad habits I developed

I went to a meditation at a temple that had a lecture afterward entitled "Beyond influences"...it was said that you really cultivate mindfulness to deal with uncertainty during times of certainty (that's the trick, I guess)...

One notion I have is to start early morning meditation...but, it's been hard to get myself to get up early enough to do it...or even be still that long...how did others get into the practice of meditation?

Also, any books or practices that could be recommended?

I want to be mindful, even as I am experiencing change..I want to still care for others, even when I am figuring things out...

Thanks so much!

Michael
