I am halfway through my first challenge of meditating 30 minutes per day each day. Already I have drawn some interesting conclusions about this challenge which I will reveal in my wrap-up next week! Most importantly, I enjoy meditating daily and find that it really improves my mindset and my mood. Here is my progress so far:
Day 1: Mediated using my Moonly app. I focused on my breath and was able to center myself and release anxiety and stress from the day.
Day 2: Again I used my Moonly app. This time however I could not get comfortable, could not sit still, and could not focus. Total opposite experience from Day 1!
Day 3: I planned to meditate after dinner, then completely forgot until bedtime. By then I was too tired to even think about it.
Day 4: Lovely guided heart-opening meditation using the Calm app. I felt refreshed afterward.
Day 5: Very moving guided forgiveness mediation using the Calm app. I actually got a little misty at the end of this one. This meditation helped me release a lot of stuck feelings.
I am finding that I look forward to mediation every day. But I need to think about my daily schedule so that meditation is part of my routine, and not something that I am trying to “fit in”.
