Its like aiming at a target with a bow and arrow."

Hey Legends

Meditation is a simple practice & profound teacher, but building a meditation habit can be tough.

As with building any new habit you're likely to face resistance and distractions.

Your willingness & ability to  commit to practicing will help you overcome many of these challenges.

Getting clear on your intentions or why you want to meditate can be a powerful driver and taking some time to plan & prepare can support in bringing the practice to life.

Here's some questions that might help you

Intentions

Spend some time (6 minutes) exploring your intentions for your meditation journey over the next four weeks.  

1. What do you hope to get out of mindfulness and meditation?

2. Why is this important to you?

Bring a sense of curiosity and exploration to this exercise - for some of us this will come easy and for some of us it’ll be a struggle, this is something that may evolve as you progress and if you are not completely clear on your answers that's ok too.

Planning

When will I practice?

Where will practice?

How long will I practice for?

What resistance or challenges am I likely to face?

How will I respond to challenges and resistance?

Remember these questions are designed to help you foster a sense of commitment and create a plan to make meditation a habit.

If you have a different approach you might use that instead or along with these questions.

Enjoy
