Part 3/5:
To combat the inertia of old habits, one must focus on establishing a new routine—this is where the concept of incremental change comes into play. Building a meditation habit doesn’t require overwhelming oneself with extensive sessions right off the bat. Instead, starting small and gradually increasing duration can foster sustainability and ease the process.
Steps to Establish a Consistent Meditation Practice
- Start Small: Rather than diving into an hour-long meditation, begin with a manageable time frame. If your goal is to meditate for 30 minutes daily, start with just 15 minutes. This allows your mind and body to adapt without feeling overwhelmed.
