Daily meditation isn’t easy, and it doesn’t necessarily get easier just because you’re doing it every day. But something special does happen after a while.
Beyond the many health benefits, improved sleep and general sense of well-being, I find I get better at the art of showing up the more I do it. And that, in itself, makes the harder moments in life easier.
Showing up for yourself each day, sitting with your thoughts, becoming familiar with them without automatically following them, teaches you the art of being present and choosing your reactions.
That makes for a stronger individual and, I believe, a softer, smoother ride through this life, which, let’s be honest, can be pretty challenging at times.
Daily meditation builds self-discipline, and in my experience, both personally and professionally, self-discipline is one of the strongest forms of self-love.
Start with five minutes a day and build from there. I find it can take around 12 minutes for the mind to settle enough to really drop into the body, so eventually aim for 15–20 minutes.
Five minutes is a start. Consistency is the practice.
