Meditation Journal; Getting started
*I have always been interested in the concept of meditation and have attempted to meditate on occasion but never got into a routine. I wanted to help myself in sticking to a routine by journaling my thoughts and feelings.*

I have completed 3 sessions of 10 minutes so far. I used the application ‘Headspace’ as I already had this app downloaded but had yet to use it, I understand that it requires payment after the basic introduction so I might look for a free option after I complete the introduction **(any recommendations?)**. 

'Headspace' has a basic introduction to meditation which is 10 minutes each day for 10 days. I have been doing it at around 8pm, I found this time suited me well as I had got most of my activities out of the way and I was able to enter a more relaxed headspace by using meditation. The past week had actually been rather stressful, I found myself getting annoyed at situations at university/work that were actually quite minor, the past few sessions of meditation have helped me realise that it was a waste of energy to let minor things have such an effect on me. I have found I am able to fall asleep faster and into a deeper sleep after practicing meditation. Also, once I regulated my breathing it felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest.

I believe meditation is something that I would find very useful within everyday life and I’m excited to see how work and study are affected by getting into a routine of using mindful meditation.

Thanks for your account of starting, keep going! It was motivating for me to see meditation as not only beneficial in many ways, but also as an exploration that is very fulfilling.  Feel free to check out my blog for some meditations to try!
