How to Meditate Daily

Making daily meditation a routine can help you optimize the benefits of your meditation. Research has shown that the frequency of practice is more important than the time spent meditation.

For people who are new to meditation, it might be challenging to build a habit. That's why the goal is to build consistency over a long period of time. Committing 10 minutes every day to meditate is more effective than doing one hour every week. Once it becomes a habit, you will become better than your best excuses. Here are the best meditation tips on creating a new habit:

1. Determine when and where you will meditate: The most effective way to form a habit is determining when and where you will meditate. Some people prefer doing it when they wake up while other people prefer doing it before they sleep. There is no right or wrong time. As to where: find a quiet place where you feel relaxed with minimal distractions.

2. Determine the duration of the meditation: Start small. Aim for 5 minutes. Once it becomes a part of your habit, find your sweet spot. The key is to consistently meditate day after day without fail. Reward yourself when you successfully meditate and find an anchor to your routine. For example, most people know they're about to work when they get into the car in the mornings. Find an anchor that triggers your moment of meditation.

3. Be relaxed and comfortable: It's important that your posture and your environment is relaxing and comfortable. This will help minimize distractions and get into the moment of peacefulness.

4. Use an app: A meditation app can help you schedule daily alarms to meditate and help provide the tools to make it easy. Most meditation apps provide valuable instructions and insights on a variety of topics.
