Almost reached my goal of meditating every day for a year… looking forward to meditating on a mountain in Maine next week, this has transformed my clarity and mental health. I’m grateful for this journey in self discovery ✨

Discussion
is there a best time of the day you’ve found to do it? first thing in the morning?
Yes, right after you wake up.
Pee.
Then meditate 🙏
I find that yoga before meditation is optimal.
1hr yoga
1hr seated meditation
of course if you want to get all that done before sunrise you gotta get up early.
Oh I’m an early riser, but haven’t done enough yoga yet. Taken a few classes and it’s not really for me.
also do you let yourself think freely and wildly or do you practice clearing your mind?
I tried to avoid electronic devices, or screens of any kind for the first hour of my day.
Then I begin my rituals of a peaceful morning…
Sit ups, push-ups, grinding coffee and pumping espresso, Rinse and repeat for girlfriend’s pourover.
Then I continue my healing journey immersed in memes for a while 😇
How did you start?
My neurologists, and therapists suggested it following a serious accident
It helps manage and curb unhelpful thinking, it also brings me peace, and helps me protect my good energy⚡️
Oh no, sorry to hear that bud. Hope all is good 🙏
I meant how did you start? Is it an app or do you just do it without?
Ahh!
Yes, I use an app called Incite Timer
But I’m sure there are many others that offer free guided meditations.
I would browse their selections and try different tracks, bookmark the ones that speak to you, and you can always revisit those whenever you want. Probably have about 20 or 30 earmarked, but sometimes I discover new ones too
Thank you bro will check it out 🤙
