One of my greatest teachers told me there are no holidays. She would say, “consider a diet, where you eat healthfully every day. How exactly do you ‘deserve a holiday,’ when the calories don’t ever take a break?”

I haven’t been on a practice regimen like this in a very long time, but I am now, and it feels absolutely wonderful. Today there was no time to practice, and I just had to find time. Somehow I managed.

If you set your mind to it, it’s like brushing your teeth. Even on the busiest day, you find time.
