It was World Mental Health Day yesterday, 10/10/25. After I completed my meditation session, my Headspace app applauded me.
Meditating is a great way to align the body and train the consciousness to be more open and resilient. It helps to reset the body and the mind. Simple breathing techniques help to physically reset the body while sitting with yourself and your thoughts help the mind better tune in to the inner self. Thoughts do not own the mind, thoughts come and go. Like a storm, thoughts pass. The mind is a sky, the vessel.
If it works better, try walking mediations or other kinds of meditations such as sound meditations. You also do not need to sit for meditations. You can lay down, stand, sit at an incline or position your body to what is comfortable. Explore what works best for you.
Headspace is an app that provides guided meditations along with other mental health support strategies and insight but you do not need an app. You can meditate on your own. And, if you do not want to subscribe to an app, there are other ways to get access to guided meditations.
Today is day 44 for me this cycle. My longest streak was over 900 days. I usually meditate in the mornings and sometimes I do two or three sessions depending on the day.
