Yesterday was my 365th consecutive day of meditation practice. Not once did I forget or intentionally procrastinate. Only one day was I down to the wire- I started the app at 11:58pm. In my defense I was at a concert & home late.

Meditation has changed my life. While I still experience panic attacks, they are less frequent & I can get myself back to calm relatively quickly. It has improved my mental health & has boosted my confidence.

@maryhamermusic yeah, I use so many self-care apps! #insighttimer for meditation, #noom for weight loss, #reframe for drinking, #Endel for concentrating. #zero is fine; apart from the timer, it has articles about the science of fasting and related topics; it has challenges, and it can integrate with your other health trackers (through the Health app on an iPhone for example) so you can check the interactions among exercise, sleeping, and fasting, etc.

I deeply hate Mother's & Father's Day & I knew when I woke that at some point today I'm going to have negative feelings towards a loved one. This is an unpleasant way to start the day. So I made myself a cup of darjeeling #tea & decided to #meditate. It was the right choice. One track was a quick 10 minute gratitude podcast & the other was a 13 minute talk about miracles & anxiety. Both on #InsightTimer.

@donni Do you know about the #ICantSleep podcast? This guy, Benjamin Boster, with a wonderfully boring voice reads incredibly boring Wikipedia articles.

It's available via podcasts but also in the wonderful free meditation and sleep app called #InsightTimer

I've only made it thru a few. Oatmeal is particularly effective at knocking me out lol. But I was interested enough to listen to the whole article about Dragons lol
