I’ve Meditated Twice a Day for the Past 6 Months
(And I still don’t know what I’m doing.)
I don’t have to tell you the benefits of meditation: you’ve heard them already.
In the digital age, we live with an increasing amount of stimuli and get lost in our hedonism, trapped by our impulses. To take control of that, we look to mindfulness for answers. We try to meditate, realize it’s not the benzodiazepine it’s marketed as, but instead takes us to some form of insanity, forcing us to face our thoughts.
I’ve tried to make meditation a daily habit many times, but this is the first time I’ve succeeded.
I’ve meditated twice a day for the past half a year.
Okay, that’s a little bit of a lie.
In the first month, I only meditated once a day. And sometimes, once a month or so, I miss one of my meditation sessions (which means I only meditate once that day). But I haven’t gone a day without meditating since I started, and I hope I won’t for the rest of my life. I currently meditate for ten minutes twice a day.
As someone who has meditated for half a year, that means I meditate more than most people. It probably doesn’t make me an expert, but at least you would think I know what…
