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 ✨

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.

aerobics or lifting or whatever is good too

i do some seriously intense yoga,

the idea is to sweat and exert energy so that the mind is calm and happy for sitting

For sure. Important to stay limber, flexible, keep all the gears turning

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 😇

to wake up and not check your phone first thing in the morning is a pretty big challenge

For sure, but that first hour or so of the day is important.

Soon as your eyes hit the screen you begin processing data and that window of mindfulness and personal time is 💨
