isPermaLink="false">http://carlaroyal.com/?p=1786#comment-616</guid> <description>Hello again.   I was rummaging to find a list that I&#039;ve carried with me from place to place called &quot;Rules for a Calmer Life&quot;.  I couldn&#039;t find it but came across this Pablo Neruda poem instead.If we were not so single minded
About keeping our lives moving
And for once could do nothing,
Perhaps a huge silence
Might interrupt this sadness
Of never understanding ourselves
And of threatening ourselves with death.I remember one rule which I have learned to keep (most of the time) &quot;Do one thing at a time&quot;.   I understand this to mean to give my complete attention to that one thing and not have a buzz of brain or physical activity for anything else.   To me, this covers cleaning the loo, preparing a meal, working in the garden and each becomes a meditation in its own right.   Others might call it mindfulness.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello again.

One thing I do is slow down and pay attention to my senses.  I&#039;m a multi tasker and my brain is on over drive so I&#039;ve found a happy medium that allows my brain to bounce around, but I&#039;m still centered and relaxed.Thanks for the steps!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a wonderful post.
