Not really… Whenever I get the time I meditate… I want to specify the time for meditation but just can’t go with that so I just go with when I have time.
Not really, no. I try to get it done in the mornings around the hour after I wake up, but sometimes I can’t do it then, either because I get distracted or don’t have the time. In those cases, I meditate in the evening
In a manner of speaking. I’ve made a commitment to myself that I’ll listen to a meditation as I fall asleep if I haven’t made time to listen to one consciously all day.
I do schedule time for meditation. I meditate once in the morning, which will set my intentions for the day, then as I am getting ready for bed, I do my windown and reflect. Depending on the day, I will choose to do more if I need extra help with what I am dealing with (i.e. stress, anxiety, depression, worry). I also use meditation to tap into parts of me that I thought were closed. For example, I am in the process of fixing my inner child and tune in my intuition. I heavily rely on meditation as it balances me. So much insight can be brought forward when we are being mindful. When I don’t meditate, I find my life slips away from me. I am no longer balanced, controlled, and often am all over the place with my emotions. I cannot say enough of how much meditation has changed my life for the better. It was a process to learn to sit with my breath at the beginning. Now, no longer an issue. I strongly recommend anyone to do at least one session of meditation and mindfulness a day. Watch the positive start to roll in.
Kind of! My intention is to do it in the morning before I get out of bed. However, if there is something pressing or I get distracted, I do it whenever I have the time. Usually around bedtime. “Scheduling” beyond making it a part of my general to-do creates resistance and/or activates negative self-talk in me so I am trying a new approach. Getting it done is what’s important but also if I don’t that’s okay! Sometimes taking care of myself in other ways means I can’t find the time.
Initially you need, will regularly say it. But is as to you. For me is better to schedule the meditation hour to create the habit of meditate, after your own ask for more meditation during the day’s, you will not need more schedule a session 😉
I try to put it at a point of the day were working is starting to be more tiresome. In the morning I’m busy with school, and than about when I’m taking a break to eat something, right after that, I start meditating. Both because following up another habit is easier than to just plan a time for a habit, and because after lunch I usually have a bit of a productivity dip anyways. So my tips: link them to a habit you already have, and meditate on a time you feel meditating goals are best coming out.
Yes I do I do not have a rigid fixed time to meditate however I make sure I meditate once in the morning and once during study break to ensure mental peace
Yes, I do. But sometimes meditating when it is not scheduled is good as well. I schedule it in the morning but if am not able to focus I do it in the evening and enjoy it.
I try to. I try meditate around 8:00 pm, and I usually go to bed around 8:40. I don’t do it in the morning much. It can ge great to schedule meditations though. At a certain time every day. This way, it becomes habit
