ANECDOTE

Meditation Streak Break And Ripple Effects

Elizabeth confessed she broke her 200+ day meditation streak after moving between apartments and missing her cushion.
The lapse snowballed into worse sleep, later mornings, and losing the ritual's anchoring effect.

ADVICE

Find A Meditation That Fits Your Brain

Try different meditation formats until one fits your nervous system, like walking activations or breathwork instead of silent mantras.
Use specific apps Elizabeth recommends (Activations, the Open app) to find movement-based or guided breathwork sessions.

INSIGHT
