It’s almost like they’re describing me.

I think I need to meditate more!
- reedf1 3y agoCareful because mediation can easily become performative (even to oneself). I've noticed this in some of my highly conscientious colleagues. Maybe it's "grindset" ideaology, but capturing the "point" of meditation takes much more than a scheduled 6 minute breathing session at precisely the butt-crack of dawn.
- Leo_Germond 3y ago6 minutes seems awfully short, I havent practiced meditation for a long time but my sessions where 20, 30 or 60 minutes long, it takes time for the mind to settle down and to benefit fully from flowing consciousness. Anything less would feel like a rush job, which is kinda paradoxical for meditation.
- Quinzel 3y agoDid it take you a while to be able to meditate for 60 minutes??
- Leo_Germond 3y agoIf you practice it daily, after about a week pushing that to 60 minutes shouldn't be too hard, it's not physical after all. What's important is to have a great setup so that it's super comfy for you to stay a long time without moving: hot, background noise should stay low, use some mat or pillow to sit on, and here you go...
- Quinzel 3y agoI think I’ll need to work up to it over longer than a week, I find it super hard to sit still. But I shall take on board your advice! Thank you!
