Meditation

I've been struggling last several years to make a habit of meditating for at least 10 minutes a day. My longest streak is about 1.5 months so far. And still, I witnessed some positive shifts in my life at that time, such as increased self-awareness and focus on work, reduced stress and anxiety levels. But somehow, this practice doesn't stick with me.

Yesterday, I stumbled across a review [RU] of the book on meditation. This book is full of studies on how this simple process changes your mind, brain, and body. It answers the main question: "Why should one meditate?". Moreover, the author of the review gave it 10/10. So, if you still think that meditation is only for people who believe in the supernatural or yogis that want to learn to levitate, then you definitely need to read the book.

After reading the review, I've decided to give this habit another shot. Probably, I'll also read a book sooner or later. So, I'm officially starting a new challenge. From now on, I'll meditate for 10 minutes every single day.

I don't plan to write daily reports on how things are going, but I do plan to post my thoughts after 1/3/6 months in the comments under this post.
