I have attended many long meditation retreats and can say they transformed me into a better person each time. They helped me especially to be kinder to myself and accept myself as I am.
But after getting married, having kids, and founding a startup, my meditation practice has largely dried up. There is always something vying for my attention it seems (including Hacker News).
I aspire to go on retreat again to hopefully bootstrap a daily practice. Ironically my startup is Retreat Guru!
- amazingman 10y agoIs there something that happens in your life every day that you can anchor a meditation habit to? For example, my personal anchor is the fact that I take public transportation to work every weekday morning. Overlaying my meditation practice onto my daily commute gives me 15-30 minutes of meditation time* 4-5 days a week. * eyes open or closed, standing or sitting, breath or open or metta or body scanning, all are doable
- retreatguru 10y agoGreat idea. I often remember to practice simple driving mindfulness when i drive my car to work. Other than that I just need to find the discipline to go to bed early and wake up early to practice.
