You\u2019ll be able to focus more on meditating than on uncomfortable or distracting surroundings (though noise canceling headphones are great for meditating at work, on your commute, etc.) That being said, I prefer to pick the same spot every day because of the ritualistic nature of setting aside a specific time and place for meditation. It makes meditating seem more intentional rather than something I need to get out of the way or get off of my checklist.<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-1416583776\"><div id=\"thefa-383683148\"><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\">Lou A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It can be important, but it depends on the type of meditation. I like to do walking meditations or meditate on the subway while I\u2019m en route to work. Airplanes are also a good place to meditate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Richard Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes, somewhere you can expect to be quiet whenever you&#39;re ready to meditate. And choosing a specific time can be very beneficial too. I prefer my room with lights off.\ud83d\ude01<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jan R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well.. our brain loves habits, so it&#39;s easier to create a habit if we do it always in a certain way. But I would say, it is not as important where you practice, but the fact that you do it every day. Meditate every day and you will create a habit in the brain, so your body will feel like wanting to meditate, instead of you having to &quot;force&quot; it to.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Chris F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think it is when you begin. My understanding is that as you practice more you want to take meditation skills into the world with you so practicing at different times and places becomes important.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Istein U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It can reinforce the habit, as your mind will start to associate that spot with meditation. This will in turn make it easier to begin, and reduce the startup-cost&#x2F;friction in your body, eventually making an automatic habit.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a regular meditation practise, or want to, using the same spot will most likely help. As you get more experienced you are able to do it elsewhere. <\/p>\n<p>I recommend reading, or checking the summary on YouTube, of Atomic Habits by James clear.<\/p>\n<p>Best of luck, from Norway.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marine Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on who you are as a person. You can meditate everywhere if it is a place where you relax. But if you like consistency, a fixed spot could work better. Maybe you associate that spot with calm and peace, and then it will make your meditation easier.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Antonia Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Choosing the right place to meditate is important. . It is always important to choose a nice quiet place. The right place ensures that you are able to focus on your meditation technique.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nevaeh O.
