For years I have wanted to meditate daily. I love meditation and recognise its many benefits. I had no trouble going to a weekly meditation class, but when it came to meditating on my own, I never got much further than day one.
There were always reasons why I couldn't. Morning meditations seemed difficult, I would rather sleep a little longer. A busy schedule with work, social commitments and running a house made it difficult to fit in during the day. Finally at night, I preferred spending time with my partner.
I spent a lot of time converting a spare room into a tranquil meditation room and I even bought myself some lovely meditation music and guided meditations to listen to. The room only ever got used once or twice before the dream of meditating daily was lost to other priorities.
It wasn't until I began pinning some great meditations on Pinterest that I really broke through my lack of motivation and made my dream a reality. It was so simple and that was the key.
One morning, as I woke up, I realised I had time to spare and was awake enough to grab my phone and turn off flight mode. I keep my phone switched off or in flight mode when it is near the bed at night. With the meditations accessible from my phone through Pinterest, I found it easy to pick a guided meditation to listen to. I was able to lay under the covers and complete a healing meditation. I felt amazing afterwards. I felt more positive and was in a great frame of mind ready to start the day.
Since then I keep my headphones on my bedside table and when I wake up I pick a meditation that suits the amount of time I have available. There are so many great meditations available online it is just a matter of finding them. While I am in bed I am able to lay down or sit up depending on my mood or the type of meditation.
It just goes to show that when you make things simple it makes it easier to achieve your goals.
