30-day meditation challenge! A chill place to challenge yourself and improve your practicce. Keep on meditating and best wishes!

This is a subreddit dedicated to daily meditation practice. Typically people promise to meditate every day for a certain period of time (like 30 days) and post their daily meditation times and experiences. Let us know how you found us!

GENERAL GUIDELINES: when we begin, pick a length of time you feel you can commit to every day. Now could be a good time to add, gradually or all at once, minutes to your practice if you have one.

If you're brand new, it's a good idea to start small, maybe 5-10 minutes, and add 5 minutes each week. Don't do too much; don't do too little. You know what's right for you.

POSTING GUIDELINES: by all means, discuss problems, ask questions, and bring up confusions. That said, meditation is an internal experience, and it's somewhat detrimental to your practice to try to describe in words each and every sensation that comes up. So feel free to simply check in with how many minutes you sat for each day.

Day 5

Had a long day at work. Sat for 15 mins. I had whole body tingling for a brief stretch in the middle. Once it settled, I felt settled. Interesting stuff.

Day 1

I have multiple things on my plate and it's very difficult for me to just sit at one place and get something done.

I'll use this space and challenge to see if there's any difference in the amount of time I can work without being distracted. It's currently less than 5 minutes. Wish me luck 💀

Day 30

I have been insanely busy. Too many jobs and too many trips. I'm exhausted. I had to work today but I forced myself to sit at the end of the day. 15 mins. I felt rusty. Had a hard time getting into the flow.

Day 19

2x20 min. Actually got to sit early for once, it'd been awhile! Lots of energy and focus though not without some physical struggle at the en. Also got some more bad news but taking it okay.

Day 17+18

2x20 min each day. Yesterday's felt good despite some physical distractions, today's I felt worn down. I can't sit earlier or later so I have to roll with it.

Day 13+14

2x20 min, then 4x20 min. Lost someone close to me, and their shocking parting likely will make things get really truly bad for my family on top of things, but at least I could sit. Couldn't really do much else.

October Quiet Sit Thread

Please feel free to use this check-in thread with commenting if there's any reason you don't want to start daily threads for yourself (for example, maybe you can't sit daily, you just want to test out a period of sitting shorter than 30 days, or you just don't want it to pop up for subscribers). I'll still be monitoring this thread but I'll keep personal comments to a minimum unless requested. Best wishes for your practice!
