You can build from there. At first, when you&#39;re starting out, it is more about the commitment to sitting than successfully &quot;meditating&quot;<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-3089565175\"><div id=\"thefa-798738165\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Start making your days count<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Try now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ken N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Just as important as 3 seconds or 3 hours. I\u2019m still learning that we have learned to be \u201cDoers\u201d and forgotten how to be \u201cBe-ers\u201d. We\u2019re so busy Doing that we lose focus of Being. When I get so busy doing and can\u2019t complete the task, I get frustrated &amp; my cortisol spikes- stress. When I reframe, when I\u2019m able to catch myself, 3 minutes meditating helps me switch from Do to Be. Rich Dad &#x2F; Poor Dad said it best: Be -&gt; Do -&gt; Have. Those 3 minutes may be the best 3 minutes!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nino Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You calm your mind, reduce stress level, and get more mindful and aware of your thoughts and feelings. That will help you to consciously deal with your thoughts and concerns and fears. It also allows to reflect on yourself, your life, and people around you. You detox your mind from toxic thoughts and feelings and replace them with energizing and productive throats and feelings.<br \/>\nIt also helps you develop a better  biochemistry in your body and brain for your physical and mental health.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adriana P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In the beginning it is very valuable, but after some time you naturally extend this period. 20 minutes is good for most of the people, serious Vipassana student meditate at least 1 hour in the morning, and 1 hour in the evening.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Yassmim T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It is incredibly valuable. It gives you time to unplug and just focus on mindfulness and yourself, even for a short period of time. However, the key is repetition. Make sure you do those three minutes everyday or even more than once daily if you need it. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Suzanna E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Some minutes are better than no minutes for sure. I feel that the five minute meditation is perfect, but if 3 minutes is good for you go for it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Peer F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it\u2019s a great place to start. Meditating for three minutes a day might not be the best long term practice but it\u2019s an excellent way to get the habit into your routine. I would suggest that once you\u2019ve made it a habit, to gradually increase the time to five, ten, half and hour or whatever you find beneficial. A lot of people find that it takes five minutes to get into the flow of mediating. But when starting out, three minutes is great. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elena F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I believe it&#39;s very valuable to meditate for as little as 3 minutes. It&#39;s 3 minutes that you are dedicating to yourself. Every little bit counts. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Boanerges C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it is better to meditate for just three minutes than not to meditate at all. Of course three minutes is a short time, but focusing on your breath for that time will already make you calmer! \ud83d\ude0a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Phillip F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you do it the right way for only minutes even, you will see a change in yourself, you will be able to control  your anger, your stress will be reduced, mental health will improve,happiness will increase and many more benefits you will see in yourself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jadir P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think there is value in any mediation- that is to say there are no \u201ebad\u201c ones, there are no \u201ewrong\u201c ones and there are no \u201etoo short ones\u201c. It is all practice. 3 minutes may be all one needs to pause, breathe and re-Focus on the moment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Liva W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it can be valuable to meditate for only one minute. I\u2019ve personally done everything from 1 minute to 30 minutes, and found all of it helpful.  I think what matters is just taking some time every day to pause and just be, without expectations or pressures to do something. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Orlani I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Personally, I feel it\u2019s immensely valuable, because it\u2019s a good starting point if you\u2019re just starting out with meditation. Meditation can calm a panic attack within 3 minutes. Also, giving your mind and body 3 minutes of meditative breathing calms and refreshes you and your body &#8211; sort of the same principle as power naps. \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Traude E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">So valuable! If you can spare 3 minutes, I recommend stretching yourself to 5, but if 3 is all you can do then definitely do it! \ud83d\ude42 &#8211; so valuable <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Karl J Rgen Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Incredibly valuable! It helps you build your meditation habit and even a small amount of time trains your brain to focus and destress better.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sarah Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think any amount of meditation you can manage is good for you.  If you find you can\u2019t meditate for very long, just add a minute each day and build up to it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amar Lio G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If it&#39;s what you need and what you can do, it&#39;s fine. There are no rules. Insight timer, a great app, has 1 minute meditations. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nelmo C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Very valuable, not as much as a 10 min one but already is something. Any form of meditation, even for 1 min, is good for your mental health and for your body to relax a little. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ariane Q. Great practice.
