I'm trying to get into the habit of practicing these, but it can be hard. Sometimes I get really distracted, especially because of my ADHD.
I did a lot better today. I was able to meditate for 13 minutes while exhausted. I was proud of myself.
But yesterday went a little bit like this:
Guided Voice: Now, become aware of your physical surroundings and slowly open your eyes.
Me: *Eyes already open. Slurps soup absentmindedly while listening to the voice *
...I could have done way better. I find that I meditate better while lying down. It's easy to become uncomfortable and stop meditating while sitting up cross-legged.
Anyone else practice meditation and mindfulness? If so, do you use apps, YouTube? Guided or unguided meditations? Also, does anyone use Youper or Wysa for therapy? I find that they help a lot for when you don't have a therapist. They don't take the place of a real one, but they do a good job.
