Building a meditation habit that lasts

The hardest part of meditation is often remembering to do it. These tips help practice become a habit.

1. Start tiny. Two minutes a day is a great start. You can always do more.
2. Link it to an existing habit. “After I make my morning tea, I sit for two minutes.”
3. Same time, same place. A regular spot becomes a cue.
4. Make it easy. Leave a cushion out, or keep the timer on your home screen.
5. Track gently. A record of your sessions shows progress. Missing a day is fine; just begin again.
6. Notice the benefits. After each session, take a moment to notice how you feel.
