A Simple Habit

So for the past few months plus I've been using an app called Simple Habit. It offers a ton of meditations as we as a meditation of the day. I've been trying to meditate for quite some time. I have seriously tried it all. Last year I had a little book of meditations. I have tried countless apps, but this is the one thing that has finally stuck.

You can of course purchase the pro version, but I only have the free version. All I do is put my headphones in. Snuggle up in a blanket on my couch. Choose the meditation of the day (5-10 minutes) and I listen. It is the most calm and relaxing part of my day. I loosen my shoulders that are already tense or never loosened up from the night before. I body scan at the end. I let me hand be still, and I listen.

I really cannot decide what I love more: My morning musings or my meditation. Maybe I just really like the moments they provide when my mind is more calm and I can think about me. The best part is I used to feel guilty about self focused time. There is always so much to do. So many other things needed and so many other people who have demands on me.

After doing this for the last while I can honestly say that I don't feel any of those things. I love this part of my day. I love this part of my mind and body and spirit. I value the change it makes in my day. I love the feeling I have knowing I have given myself just an hour to be me and use the gifts I've been given to improve myself and not just others.
