My white cat is skittish and it\u2019s only in the morning that she likes to snuggle. I need to either find a way to incorporate giving her affection and meditating at the same time or finding a way to distract her.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Vicky U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Set a designated time to meditate! For instance,  meditation is set 10a! Once you&#39;ve done that, you MUST try to maintain the time in order for it to stick! Especially when your trying to make it a habit! <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jon C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Begin the meditation at a set time and place. Set out the block I sit on for better posture, or decide lying down is better option. Take a few deep breaths to anchor myself in the moment and space, in the here. Sit with eyes closed or eyes open. Set a timer for twenty minutes and maybe place soft ambient music, or use concentration to focus on my breath. Sit quietly, pay attention to my body, let the thoughts float by like leaves on the wind. Just sit and breathe. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Oscar Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I could sit with more purpose and sit twice per day.

Today, I sat in a chair. I do better when I sit on the ground cross-legged or lying on my back. Sitting in a chair if too much like everything else and my thoughts slip away easier.

I always make time for it, even on days when I am short of time. It just gives my head time to get into a right headspace for the day. One thing that I know I have to consciously avoid, is being ashamed in front of my partner. He is a very reason- lead person and I always feel like I have to hide my meditation from him. There is absolutely no reason for that, he is always so supportive, but I just can&#39;t get over that. So the most struggle I have is to meditate over the weekends since he&#39;s home in the morning with me. But I know about the issue and I try to fix every time. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex S. I could do fewer micro stretches.
