things I thought were silly: meditation apps, habit trackers, using streaks to build habits
thing I've been most committed to over the 2 years: keep my meditation streak on Insight Timer going
There were days when all structure went out the window (travel, family, craziness, illness) but I still sat, even if only for a few minutes
Started meditating in 2019. Began to track each session on March 27, 2024 (through InsightTimer).
Interesting stats:
- Total time: 204 hours, 15 mins
- Average per day: 39 mins
- Total sessions: 885
- 265 days in a row
- Most meditation: May 2024 (27h, 46m)
Takeaways:
1. When I started meditating, I thought it wouldn’t work for me.
2. Tracking has helped me meditate more.
3. Started meditating 5 years, 5 months ago. Have taken 1 year off. Probably means I’ve meditated close to 1,000 hours.
4. You can’t meditate wrong. Just sit there and watch your mind.
5. I continue to do the practice because it makes my life better. It helps create more space in my life.
6. All unguided. Just letting whatever thoughts come up. Sometimes loving-kindness (sending appreciation to myself and world).
7. Divine Moments happen more frequently when I meditate.
