What time of day works best for meditation? And do you try to increase the duration of your meditation?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

The best time for meditation varies per individual, but many find morning sessions beneficial for setting a positive tone for the day. Others prefer evenings to unwind. Start with shorter durations and gradually increase as you become more comfortable. Consistency is key, so choose a time that fits your daily routine and allows for meaningful practice. Remember, the goal is to cultivate a lasting habit that enhances your self-care journey.

I do a longer routine in the morning that consists of more habits but keep it simple and just do yoga and meditation at night. First thing and last thing work best for me. If I try to sneak it in it gets over looked and unprioritized for me. As for increasing duration I’ve been following a course on medito that ups it by a minute each time. When I first started meditating it was haarrd and I went back down to a few minutes. I’ve done that back and forth a few times over the years. Nowadays 5 minutes is just too short. I can handle 15 and but anymore is too much for now. Personally I’m normally happy with 10 on the regular. Lowering the bar on hard days.
