How do I stay consistent with meditation?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

To stay consistent with meditation, start by setting a specific time each day to practice, creating a ritual around it. Begin with short sessions, gradually increasing the duration as you become more comfortable. Use reminders to help you stay on track and consider pairing meditation with another daily habit, such as after your morning coffee. Reflect on your progress regularly to reinforce your commitment. Remember, consistency is key to developing a lasting meditation habit that supports your overall well-being.

Start tiny. One minute is better than nothing and most people can fit that into their day. Most apps have reminders or, otherwise, stick a few in your phone. Build really gradually and you‘ll find it easier. When I look at a 15 minute meditation - especially on a fidgety, busy day - I just think „no, it‘ll have to drop,“ but 1 minute is manageable most days and, often, once I‘m settled, I feel like doing a bit more. Also, tell yourself well done after every single session - you deserve it!
