Today marks 90days of meditating every morning! Wow I did it!!!๐๐ผ๐ญ๐๐๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ
I feel super proud of this accomplishment I thought Iโd never reach!!
(In these pics you can see my view when i check on my posture and my dear fellow pillow)
Iโve meditated for the past 5years, but was never able to maintain a solid daily practice. I would always slowly bail after a week. Itโs hard to wake up early everyday when thereโs less distractions (usually 5:30am), and not feel like I suck because of everything wrong with me, and around me.
I want to thank Shane
@thegotrom, and Mike
@lettingglow with all of my heart, for inspiring me so much to sit with a strong determination. Thanks to both of you I dared aiming high, got this lovely travel pillow for my butt, and felt company everytime I wanted to quit. Your example keeps shining bright for me. Huge shoutout also to my freaking younger brother Gaby who got me into Vipassana meditation in the first place!
I first couldnโt sit straight, would change posture every 10min, and enter suffering after the fateful 30min mark when joints start to ache harder. Then i worked in steps, from 15min to 55min, from slouching to ยซย statue-ingย ยป, from restlessness to rest. Now, Iโm still overcoming these same struggles, but I can sit straight without moving during the whole session, and I actually look forward to it in the morning (mind blown ๐คฏ).
Itโs ridiculous the amount of issues meditation indirectly brings to the surface for you to deal with once it lasts long enough.
Finally after talking about how hard and grim this practice can be, is when i totally recommend you to do it haha ๐
๐ plenty worth it. Ask me anything about it!
On to a full year of meditating everyday!
