I have a lot of internal mental chatter. A lot. It's going constantly, and it can get exhausting. It is also hard for me to sit still. So, of course, I had to include meditation in my 40 goals.
I want to feel more still. I want to feel more at peace and calm. I decided that my goal would be 100 days of meditation. It was exactly what I needed for a goal. I needed to focus more on settling myself and my brain.
At first, I dreaded it because I didn't love sitting still. I had done meditation here and there over the past few years, but I hadn't stuck to it enough to see very many results. I started with guided meditations, and over time, it was easier to sit and smoother to calm my mind. I learned how to label my thoughts and to accept the chatter, and also to let it pass.
As I was doing it every single day, it got a lot easier. I enjoyed it more. I learned to label my thoughts and allow thoughts to come and go. I learned a lot about my thinking. I loved it. I have to admit, since I've finished my goal, I've kinda not stuck with it like I would have liked. I guess any day is a good day to start again. I need that peace any chance I can get.
