day 1 of giving meditation a shot (again). i really hope that i don’t give up easily this time. if anyone’s got suggestions/tips that can help me form this habit successfully, i’d love to know what helped you when you got started or even if you failed to form the habit the first time and then tried again and succeeded. 🥺💙

love to see it! things that helped me: - no pressure. start small, short lengths, at the time that you think about doing it (more on that on 3). the 'i've got to do it' approach didnt help, so i'd go for it once the thought of meditating popped up - use the default, 'simpler' guided ones - try different periods of the day and see what works best. for me, i really started forming the habit when i'd do it when fully awake and before any other activity. would take a shower and go for a session. saw the impact it had towards the rest of my day and decided to continue - use the sounds' library, even during the day. they help a lot and there are periods I listen to them more than music - for guided ones, find a voice/instructor that you feel relaxed with. this is very important to me - take it easy, even if you miss a day or two

I’ve been meditating for almost a decade with consistency through being *gentle* - it’s two things: 1. Letting go of the need to have the conditions be perfect, and just doing it wherever and whenever I can, for whatever duration is possible. 2. Forgiving myself easily if I miss a day, and just beginning again.

I have lots to say so I'll try to keep it short. Three things that are linked together: body, breath, and mind. Think of it like a pyramid. Your body is the base. In order to sit still the body needs stillness. 1. Some physical balancing will be helpful. You'll have to find out what works for you but for me a bit of simple yoga asanas does it. Food is also an important aspect, choosing foods that are calming for your system that work for you. If you drink alcohol, coffee, chai - best to wait 6-8 hours so it wears off the nervous system before beginning meditation. A buzzing body is tough to allow the mind to be calm. 2. Thoughts, emotions & breath are all connected. Finding a breathing practice that balances the breath is important. For me, alternate nostril breathing is a tool I use. It balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and allows the breath to be calmer and the mind to be more still. 3. Setting a consistent time every day. Start out at a time that feels doable for you.

Only focus on your breath and let your mind do whatever, just keep coming back to breathing attention when you realize the mind took awareness away from the breath. The space between inhale and exhale, and between exhale and inhale is where calmness and intention grow. Its practice, so go easy and have fun. Laying down, vs sitting upright, might be a good start to developing less distractions the mind has to receive about the meat suite.

Try linking the new habit to something you already do regularly, like right after brushing your teeth or just before going to bed. I’ve found that tying a new habit to an existing routine makes it easier to stick with, and I’m more likely to follow through consistently.
