I’m a big believer in choosing comfort over practicality.
It might not be practical to take your meditation pillow in your checked luggage for the weekend- but if you love using it in the mornings you should take it.
You might feel obligated to finish all the food on your plate because it would be a ‘waste’ otherwise. But you’ll pay the price with feeling too full.
Take the pillow and don’t over eat for the sake of it.
I think we’re trained in the culture to neck discomfort to keep the peace. But I think we should all be putting our own comfort ahead of little rules.
If it’s not hurting anyone and it’ll make your experience a little better, do it.
