Start small
A daily habit is easier to keep when the minimum is tiny. Two minutes of focused breathing counts. On good days you will sit longer anyway, and the streak keeps you coming back on the busy ones.
Ideas for your daily minimum
- Two minutes of slow breathing, counting breaths from one to ten
- A five-minute body scan before sleep
- A guided session from any app or video
- A short walking meditation without your phone
Tips
- Same time, same place. Right after waking up or before bed works for many people.
- Don't judge the session. A restless sit still counts. The point is to show up.
- Missed a day? Start again the next day. Your best streak stays saved.
