If you don't have meditation in most (all 
)of your days begin (again ;), today, right now.
It Will Change Your Life!
Many of you may have similar past experience with meditation as me. You have tried once, twice, 20+ times to commit to a daily meditation practice and never could stick to it.
About 3 months ago I started and have not missed a day since. So what changed? I can't honestly say but it felt different from day 1. As if I finally relaxed and adopted it as a part of my life. Instead as a tactic or hack to improve my life.
There are amazing meditation resources (like the 2 at the bottom of this post) from sources far more experienced than I so I'm not going to rehash tactics or approaches here. What I do want to do is convey the 3 specifics that made this meditation start different for me.
- Approach it with a simple generous attitude. Give yourself the rest of your days to improve.
- Create a mantra for yourself that you feel connected to and will help you focus tremendously. Something that sounds comforting to your mind on repeat.
- The absence of thoughts, the jumping around, quieting that damn monkey brain is NOT the goal. Noticing it happening is. That acknowledgment will lead to deeper understanding, deeper meaning, and a vastly improved meditation practice.
Many years from now when you look back on today it will be a profound moment of change for you. You will credit the daily meditation practice as a huge factor in your well being, quality of life and success.
You had no idea today was going to be so exciting!
