The 30 days for creating a meditation habit were over some time ago. I skipped meditating 7 of the 30 days. But always got back on track. Even after the 30 days are over, I've kept up the practice everyday.
Two lessons:
Something which seemed nearly impossible and vaguely effective after feeble attempts for more than a year, is now a concrete habit. In just 30 days.
Secondly, I'm learning to accept imperfection. There's hardly anything perfect or superbly technical about the way I meditate. Also, as I mentioned I skipped 7 of those days. So in effect, this was done in 23 days.
(Incidentally Cal Newport has a blog post today on perfectionism.)
But it has worked and served me well. I can now meditate for 14-15 minutes at a time. Without falling asleep or getting the urge to go to the laptop or eat something. I now actually look forward to it.
Next habit - waking up early.

I just don't think I could do meditate. Even back in school, we had an hour long weekly Yoga class, where the most difficult part was sitting quietly, medidating. :P
ReplyDeleteWaking up is a habit, I would like to develop. Soon.
Logically, that should be the easiest part :) To do nothing and just watch the thoughts go by. But I know it isn't. I will urge you to give it a try though if you are interested.
DeleteDidn't blog about it but I used a similar method for waking up early.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
