I don’t really have a “meditation practice”. I just meditate when I’m feeling anxious and need to calm down and regain my inner peace, or if I feel stuck in a rut and need to “jumpstart my brain”. Sometimes I’ll meditate as part of my prayer and devotional time; if I need to focus on a decision I’m having trouble making; to psych myself up for something I’m avoiding doing or really nervous/anxious about; if I’m feeling confused about what I’m actually feeling and want clarity; to calm down after an argument; or to set an intention, mood, or emotion I want to generate. It’s really situational, for me. I don’t have a consistent time or frequency that I meditate – I just keep it in my “toolbox” of practices I can draw on as needed.
Start of the day when my alarm goes off, 1x snooze then drink my water and meditate in bed- a lovely way to start the day mindful and present. Or the sleep media ration in bed at night to send me off x
I commit to my meditation practice by slowly building my nighttime routine to include meditation. I use one of Fabulous’ meditation routines. 5-10 minutes is all it takes. It makes my sleeping quality better. I also prepare for bed by calming down through the meditation routine. Good luck!
You think about it throughout the day and recognise the positive influence it has on decisions we make. The decisions we make are shaped by the environments we are in.If we create a positive environment we will go forward making better decisions.
I made meditation as a part of my before sleeping routine. Only a short 5 min breathing exercises, so I know I can commit to it without feeling like it’s a hassle. At that time I can be in my own space without being bothered by people around me, and do something for myself I feel that my body really needs for it to get a good night sleep.
Do 1 minute as a minimum and track the streak. I usually do more but when you’re having a busy day, your routine is disrupted or there is a lot going on, just do 1m
I like the benefits of meditation and how I feel after doing it. I meditate when I’m alone like traveling in a cab or metro.
When i wake up in the morning , i feel my thoughts are coming together again. The best way to let them go is to meditate and i do that . When i go to sleep, i want a peaceful and restful night. But thoughts are blocking the way to an energizing night sleep. So i meditate. I keep commited to my meditation routine everyday because i want to feel good and relaxed .
There’s lots of great apps out there that provide motivation. I also like to use the meditations on YouTube. Start out by using only guided meditations and keep them pretty short, around 5 to 10 minutes.
Every morning, when I get out of bed, my meditation pillow is on the floor by the window. I make the bed and then go straight for the cushion before I do anything else. 🙂
