Rec'd on ☁️ how to get into meditation

i used headspace and I meditated at least once a day for about two years (I fell out of the habit because no habit is ever fixed with adhd but I might do it again!). it starts really easy and heavily guided and builds more and more space. I worked for me!

Same way I started! I had a 300ish day streak during Covid. The first night I went out, I didn’t want to miss it and did a short one at the table while my friends were elsewhere and this couple came over and thought I’d pass out. So recommend it, but not in a public place lol

ditto, i’m bad at it/building the habit still, but this takes a lot of the guesswork out and gives you some easy guidelines/prompts/whatever that can be more or less involved, depending on what you want

Headspace

I know a few other apps have already been mentioned and they’re probably all doing about the same thing. the only time in my life that I was meditating successfully everyday for half an hour-1 hour it was after a long run up using headspace. they start with like a couple minutes completely guided and then gradually it gets longer and the guidance gets more sparse until it’s eventually just you doing it.

Apps/meditative activities

I have been in the most consistent meditation habit since getting the Calm app because it really takes a lot of the thinking out of it. HOWEVER, there are tons of free resources on youtube and guided meditations released as podcasts. I feel like a big thing for me has been having a good mix of actual meditation and activities that put me in to a sort of similar headspace. A big one for me is going on walks and bird watching. I also find it easiest anytime I can sort of restrict myself in a way (ie im in the bath tub, wearing an eye mask, laying under a weighted blanket) to help keep myself in it.

walking meditations

imo an easy way to get into meditating without jumping headfirst into the whole sitting still thing (very hard for me). and a nice way to get outside! i like looking them up on youtube or using headspace
