Should you meditate everyday and for how long? Also how many days should you and how long. Or doesn’t me even matter at all how you plan it out.

I am just starting to meditate. I downloaded an application to help me with the process and joined into a challenge. I have been meditating everyday for 5 to 7 minutes

I meditate every single day for about 10 to 15 minutes a day, and have been doing so for the past 4 months. To me meditation is something healthy you can do for yourself every day of your life.

To get the full benefits of meditation you have to do it every day, preferably at the start of your day. You can start with 10 minutes each day. Try Headspace, it really helps me a lot with clearing my mind.

Everyday for 10-30 minutes. Meditation really clears the way for productivity and I enjoy doing it at night so I’m really relaxed for bedtime.

Yes, one should meditate daily and should do so at least twice a day for 10 minutes each. The first should be done upon waking up and the second mid-afternoon.

Meditation everyday for me walking outside, breathing or listening to a meditative session for 15 minutes helps reduce my stress and increase my focus.

I think you should meditate everyday, so it becomes a natural part of your routine. Maybe 10 minutes on a regular basis and then longer when necessary.

I am just starting out. It’s been three days and don’t time it. I just try to focus on breathing and sitting still. I plan to add more sophistication later. For now just following through on my commitment keeps me motivated.

If you just started meditation, I recommend you start with short sessions (<10 min), but have it once a day. After a while try to increase it by any amount that works better for you.

It doesn’t matter. I’d suggest starting small (1-5 min ideally per day, but several times per week is great too). From experience I can tell you all of those short minutes really add up to big gains!
