100 day manifestation challenge 2020 - 3rd time!
Hi Y'all,
I decided I want to do the 100-day meditation challenge again this year, starting today and into 2020.
I think this time around, I'm going to meditate each day for 30 minutes total, instead of 15 minutes.
The reason behind this is that I feel like 30 minutes
or even 20 minutes allows me to fully "go under" in the meditation, while the 15 min I found to not always get me all the way "there".
All the way "there" meaning when everything starts to fade into the background and I feel a sense of stillness, even in the conditions of time limitations caused by my everyday life as a human maintaining my position here on earth.
This may be a response to New Years, to 2020, to me turning 30 (gasp), or me unintentionally rediscovering the magic of meditation pretty recently, I don't know.
Maybe it's a combination of things, but I know I've been feeling called to do this again. So here goes.
Today is day 1.
I meditated for 30 min.
I felt good (managed to quiet my mind)
I didn't really see spots while meditating, which sometimes happens, especially when I am consistent
I normally go out on the patio where it's quiet. It looks out onto a courtyard that people rarely go out unless it's the weekend.
I felt calm at first but honestly found myself getting immediately irritated upon going back into my house.
My senses were heightened, and all the normal sounds, noise and chatter and irritation in the house that I typically tune out was like nails on a chalkboard.
I figure that I probably need a few minutes to acclimate myself to my regularly scheduled programming going on around me before jumping back into reality as I know it
Lesson learned. Starting over again is challenging but it is very interesting to think about and analyze.
