Episode notes
Make Practice Fit Your Life
- Choose the time for meditation when you will actually do the damn thing.
- Expect habit formation to be messy and give yourself permission to restart and reassess.
Progress Obsession Harms Practice
- Obsessing about progress kills the point of meditation and creates paralysis.
- Surrender to the long, mysterious process and focus on showing up rather than perfect results.
Grow Practice With Tiny Sessions
- Start adding extra meditation sessions very small, like one to five minutes.
- Use tiny, consistent steps to build momentum instead of trying huge changes at once.
