Last year I set out to meditate for 40 days in a row in honor of my 40th birthday. And I loved it. So this year, in an effort to make it more of a daily ritual I upped it to 60 days. And I loved it again. I used the Habit Streak app to track the days I meditated and to remind/encourage me to sit on the days I strayed. But most mornings I found myself heading directly to my little meditation nook upon rising or just after my walk for a few minutes of quiet reflection.
Sometimes it was a few minutes of total brain chaos. Sometimes I was still basically asleep. But there were days where I felt focused and connected and for brief moments felt a little bit of that divine/spirit/mojo.
I finished the 60 days a week ago and promptly stopped. whyyyyyyyy, self??
So now I’m going for a streak. no max/minimum days. I’m just going to try to meditate daily for as long as I can and we’ll see how long the streak is.
Any meditators out there? How do you meditate? Where do you meditate? Any tips for quieting my monkey mind?
