How I learned to enjoy being in the moment
I like to meditate in the morning.
It’s a relaxing and calm way to start my day.
Over time, I noticed that I’m more focused on what I aim to do that day when I meditate in the morning.
It’s hard to explain, but it feels like I’m more in control of my actions.
On days that I don’t make the time to meditate, it’s like something is missing.
The start of the day is just different.
I also noticed that there’s a higher chance something will agitate me on days I don’t meditate.
To help me, I started meditating using the Headspace app about two years ago.
Every meditation starts with a quick story and ends with a quote related to the story. It’s a small insight I look forward to daily.
Wednesday’s quote was:
“The goal of meditation isn’t to be without thoughts. The goal is to be without a goal.” ~ Headspace
That quote highlights what I love about those 15 minutes at the start of my day.
Fifteen minutes without a goal.
