5 Minutes Here ... 5 Minutes There
Posted by: Tom
The hard thing for me about meditation is setting the time aside to do it. I'm still at the phase where it seems a little like cheating, like not fully utilizing my time. Of course, once I do it I feel great and am more effective for hours afterward.
That is why minimizing the time commitment is so effective, for me at least. Ten minutes can be done pretty easily by stealing 5 minutes from two different tasks. Take 5 minutes right before your lunch break and 5 minutes from your lunch break. It's not a lot of time from either, but together 10 minutes really is quite effective as a meditation practice.
So just give it a try. Even if your not committed to this particular "Change" right now, just give it a single try and see how you like it.
Something I have started doing is turning the radio off when I drive. I know its not true meditation but its a baby step. I think I tend to fill my life with noise. If there isn't any around I make some with the radio, TV or what have you. I have found it quite beneficial to just drive to work in silence. (Silence is relative to how well my car is working on that particular day)
