Week Long Meditation Commitment

4 posts in this topic

Hi

 

After reading a few journals on here, I have taken a leaf out of somebody's journal and committed to meditating and recording my feelings, thoughts and mood for just one week.  Here goes:

 

Ok, last night I set out to meditate for just twenty minutes using the "do nothing" technique.  I lasted fourteen minutes of classic monkey mind: what did I need to do? When do I need to do it by? What about this and what about that?......next I started to fall asleep.  Today, I m lazy and avoidant; procrastinating on studying, chores and anything else, also i indulging on lots of negative thinking and ruminating on all sorts of stuff.

 

more to follow.....

Ok, second attempt.

This time lasted fifteen minutes, I became very aware of my hands and they seem move further away from me at times. Tbh I can't remember what thoughts came and went, I must remember to write it down. Today I feel more energised than normal, keener to do things and more together, if that makes sense?

more to follow tomorrow....

third go

 

To help get started I visualised a lighted candle flame flickering.  I quickly lost focus and began to imagine a blue form.  My thoughts were about day to day rubbish like what to say in my next job interview etc.. Each breath seems to provide a break in the thoughts.  I'm committed to doing this meditation and recording the results for one week so I  shall continue but tbh I don't see the point in meditation.

Ahhh, this takes me back to my first days meditating. I was very inconsistent in the beginning, but me I set a month goal because of habits and how they work. Don't give up after a week (even though you most likely will), do your best to stay on track with it. Meditation is a long term gains type of thing, keep going! You have no idea yet to how this practice is gonna benefit you.
