You have all the time in the world. It\u2019s your choice to make time for things and prioritise what\u2019s best. Make time for it. Schedule it in your diary and be consistent. Find a time during the day where you can prioritise it and consistently do it over and over<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Severino S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019ll do a guided meditation, even a short one. I used to only do the breathing meditation, then it became boring. I found that doing different types of meditations help keep me continuing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hailey T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Include it in one of your routines, morning or evening. Whatever works. It\u2019ll pop up on your list. And you do it, check it off just like the other activities. Just get it into your list. Then start small&#8230; five minutes will do. Just make some space for it. Once it\u2019s on your list, you can expand the tune, if you have it. I get satisfaction from checking things off my list. I also use the headspace app. That\u2019s helped  a lot. Good luck!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kenzo W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start small use the time you spend in the bathroom to start, do it when you remember even if you don&#39;t what to. Make a plan, set a time for ten or 15 minutes and do it consistantly at the same time. When you do not feel like meditating, spend some time studying it and find different ways to make your meditation time yours. Your life is yours, make it what you want it to be like no what your friends or family want it to look like.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Valeska C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes when I don\u2019t have the time to meditate for a long time I just do it for a few minutes though the day. Even if short I still find it helpful. And try to put an alarm on your phone to remind yourself to meditate. It\u2019s so easy to forget and just tell us we don\u2019t have the time, but adding an alarm and meditate even for 5 minutes can be very beneficial.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amado S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I started to meditate in short times, in early moments of the day so I really felt the difference. As time goes by, you will make your meditation journey longer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marie Louise F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When ever I feel like I don&#39;t have the time to meditate I try to remind myself that this is exactly why I need to be meditating<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Edna G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When time is limited due to other obligations, I might feel that skipping meditation is the easiest way to save 15min. But after a couple of days off it, the habit is gone and it\u2019s hard to start again. Now I have a new tactic: if there is no time, I simple do a 3 min meditation. It\u2019s too little to interfere with my appointments but enough to keep me feeling how great meditation is.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack U.
