100 DAYS OF MEDITATION
So, let's do a quick check-in for this serious date.
100 consecutive days of meditation, 46 hours of straight meditation time, 344 sessions - could it give anything valuable?
Yes.
I use Headspace app for practicing. It has various meditations for any situation:
-Commuting
-Eating
-Walking
-Going to Sleep
-Waking Up
-Before Sport
-After Sport
-Working with Self-Esteem, Positivity, etc.
The only rule I had these days - meditate EVERY.DAY.
Of course, I had lots of days, when there was no interest for meditating even for 5 minutes.
These days I meditated for 3 minutes (Thanks to Headspace - you can choose 3,5,10,15,20 minutes of meditation).
Other days I was pretty meditative and practiced for 20 minutes for 2-3 times a day.
What I found out:
-I became less anxious. Some situations don't bother me that much anymore (I think: "Even if it will be the heckest of hecks, I will find what to do and how to move on"), in some situations I can observe, see this anxiety, say to it: "Henlo". And go on without being sucked in it.
-I can work better under pressure. I have pretty stressful work now, sometimes tasks come with comment: "You need to do this 2 hours ago, do it NOW!" . I panicked before in situations like these. Now I'm like: "OK. Let's see what do I have time for in this situation?" . And it turns out actually fine.
-I sleep better. Not every night it's these 8 hours of sleep, but the actual quality is better.
-I'm more stable overall.
-Meditation is pretty good way to relax and have a good chill almost anywhere. I was coming home from work on a subway train that was just full. And I managed to meditate for 30 minutes so good, that I arrived home in a pure chill and rest. It doesn't work this way every time, but it CAN be like this. That's awesome.
-It's very hard to describe these changes since they are little and occur every day
What do I wanna say? It's a great thing, guys.

- you just need to survive. That's awesome. For now we learn basic punches and do cardio stuff
) , but I'm pretty consistent with my training and movement, I'm a bit surprised that I can do it like this.
