What are some simple ways to meditate daily? How do you stay motivated to do it along with the rest of the evening routine? It feels like a chore.

I find it best to meditate at the very top of the morning. I read that when we wake up in the morning our brains are operating at a significant high rate. Therefore when I wake in the morning, I go to YouTube and turn on guided meditation. 🙂

Hello beautiful soul! Actually I’m not motivated but the heart and soul go on their own, because they want the body to heal with them too. Meditation helps us in many things and motivation is something you will find in it too! Give credits to yourself for being here now! x

I am trying to calm down enough to sit still- meditation is a ways off for me – I can usually manage about 3 minutes before I start thinking about things that trouble me

A guide on YouTube. Letting myself do it alone won’t work. My motivation is the streak(?). I mean, it feels good to know I did it but i hete doing it

Short meditation so it’s always done but lengthen when possible. Meditate is the last part of my routine, it eases me into sleep

I go to the gym regularly and do body balance and yoga so meditating is within my weekly workouts. I find that with my busy lifestyle with work and school and the gym I don’t have much time to relax so I make sure I reserve the time to meditate set an alarm and when it goes off I mediate as I know this might be the only time I can relax before bed.

I can’t give you a solid answer to that specific question, but I can make it clear that when you actually start doing it as a habit you will enjoy every second of it which can in turn make it feel a lot less like a chore. My tip for you in the current moment is to pick an earlier bedtime and try to meditate for 10 minutes right before going to bed, it will become mandatory to meditate otherwise you will find it difficult to fall asleep. And I know this sounds like more of a chore but it’s a necessary step to creating that habit.

I use guided meditation that’s not too long because I’m just starting out and trying to make it a habit, once it’s a habit it would stop feeling like a chore and it would become easy to do

It’s never a chore. I know it’s relaxing me and my body before sleeping. I love to do it and wait all day to the moment I’m doing this.

Think of it as daily ritual, to start your day, to have a bright thoughts during the day. This will help you in making correct decisions. Understanding this motivates me to meditate daily.
