Getting a blood pressure monitor. This just happened a few weeks ago. I've been trying to get into the habit of meditating for years, but always very half-heartedly and never being able to stick with it. I bought a blood pressure monitor just because I felt like keeping an eye on my BP, but then read about how it's recommended to sit still for about five minutes before taking the measurement, and to do the measurement as one of the first things you do in the morning.
Well, if I want an accurate BP reading and will be sitting still in the morning anyway, why not put on a guided meditation app? I've been doing ten-minute meditation sessions almost every morning before measuring my blood pressure since then. It's now gotten to the point where sometimes I'm a little too lazy to check my blood pressure some mornings, but still sit down to do the meditation anyway.
