Useful advice for anyone fasting: keep yourself busy. As long as I'm teaching, meeting students or the like, the time passes effortlessly. As soon as I stop, the monkey mind kicks in thinking, Now's just the time for the cup that cheers, to wash away the strain of it all. Doh!
Such moments will pass though, as the body tunes itself to the reality of the fast, at least I'm hoping so based on past experience. But that was then and this is now. Times change, even when they stay the same.
