Some times of the day I tried were terrible for me!
First thing in the morning was great. Hopped out of bed, spent two minutes meditating and I was ready to face the day with a smile and a spring in my step that would have otherwise taken two cups of sugary tea to accomplish.
Last thing at night also wasn't great. I tended to skimp on the two minutes (which is some feat!) because I just wanted to snuggle into bed and fall asleep.
The start of the evening was manageable but not ideal. It was probably the time I most needed it, but the time at which I struggled the most. My mind was busy with the events of the day and the planning for the morrow. Boy oh boy did it wander when I was trying to stay focussed on my breathing or a calming phrase.
And then there was the time trying to listen to a guides meditation podcast... on double speed... because I didn't set enough time to listen to it properly before needing to get dinner cooked. No such thing as instantaneous meditation but I was trying hard!
Interestingly, I didn't notice a great deal of difference in the types of meditation. They all calmed me and held my attention away from the events of the day.
So now, to ensure I aim for two minutes each morning.
How about you? Feeling inspired? Cooler than a cool cucumber?
