Recently, I’ve challenged myself to do an hour of meditation a day for a whole week.
Before that, I’ve never meditated anywhere near this amount or this consistently ever before. I do meditate usually like 10 to 20 minutes.
I’ve been dealing with huge waves of anxiety recently that I don’t know where it’s coming from. It’s alarmingly consistent it happens to me like every day now.
It’ll come out of nowhere and it’ll kind of grab me by the chest and hold incredibly tight for hours on end.
It speaks volumes to the fact that I’m clearly avoiding or running from something and I’m always looking for creative and positive solutions to address stuff like this.
It’s one of the remarkable things about meditation.
Experience
It was a lot more difficult than I thought definitely, felt like forever.
I felt a little bit more calm and grounded but very challenging like I couldn’t stop sort of following the trail of my thoughts throughout the entire hour.
In these couple of days, I was quite focused and productive more so than usual. I don’t think it’s all down to meditation but it definitely feels like a factor.
I did get some answers. I’m realizing that there is a lot of change coming into my life. There is fear associated with that because I don’t want to lose all the stuff.
Meditation so far has been by far the most effective and efficient thing that I’ve tried of all the things that I’ve tried to bring to my life.
