i think this would help a lot with discovering myself
How to meditate more
It made me
Peaceful 
"Taking just ten minutes to be silent and sort out my thoughts and pray has made a huge impact on my life."
How I did it: I wasn't happy with myself or the way things were going in my life. At Church we were constantly being prodded to "pray and meditate" more, so I decided to make that my mission over Lent: to meditate/pray silently for ten minutes everyday. I just sat on the ground, closed my eyes, and pictured myself by the ocean. I cleared my mind of all thoughts and just invisioned the ocean, the waves coming up and down. After I had cleared my head, I would sort through my problems. I would ask God for help and thank Him also. It was extremely fulfilling and definitely filled a hole I had felt in my heart for so long. All you need is ten quiet minutes to take insight into your life, whether you believe in prayer or simply meditating.

I started but lost my focus

I began learning how to meditate and did so occasionally for a few months. I really enjoyed it and was amazed by how good it felt. It really helped with my stress, anxiety, and depression. There is so much that can be learned from meditation. I miss it! Time to start again!

meditating helps me feel more calm and focused. it is about taking at least 5-10 minutes a day for myself and no one else. :O )

So far I have meditated the last 2 days. It is getting easier again. I just need to continue to make time for it each and every day. My goal is to meditate 6 days a week. So far so good…

I forgot how hard meditating can be when you are out of practice. But I also forgot how wonderful you can feel afterwards.
I will mark this goal off if I can meditate 25 times in the next month.

This is actually going pretty well now. I’m meditating almost every day, but not for long enough each day yet. But getting there!

I’m doing it every day now! Even if only for a few minutes at lunch break, I’m still getting it done. Let’s see how long I can keep it up!

Meditating
6 months ago
“Meditate More” is on my 43 Things list because it is something I used to do regularly but have let slide in the last several years. “Life” seems to get in the way, and this was one of the things that fell by the wayside.
When I did meditate regularly I was much calmer. It helped me to focus, and also helped me sort through any issues I was having in life. The act of clearing yur mind each day seems to give your sub conscious permission to relax, and sort through things in its own time, with answers revealing themselves to you when they are ready. Yes, I know this sounds “new-agey”, but it is something I feel to be true.
As with so many things though, my challenge is finding the time to do this. Ultimately it will only take 10 minutes a day, but while I get back into it and relearn how to clear my mind, it will be about 30 minutes a day.
I am going to MAKE time over the weekend to start this again. My aim is to meditate 3-4 times a week. I just hope I can remember how! :o)

I’m currently reading Lamentations by Ken Scholes and have come across a quote that gave me pause.
Neb laughed, “I only said I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.”
Brother Hebda laughed, too. “Oh. That’s easy, then.”
“Really?”
His father nodded and leaned in. “Watch for the ones who leave your mouth hanging open. Study them, find out what they love and what they fear. Dig the treasure out of their soul and hold it to the light.” He leaned in even closer now, so that Neb could smell the wine on his breath. “Then be like them.”
Beautiful. I hope I live my life in this manner and never settle for less than the person I want to be.
