I’m on my fifth day of guided meditation, a first for me. It’s a lot less intimidating for me than I thought it would be, and this morning I got a bit of a happy mental buzz.

The sessions are only about ten minutes long, and while I wasn’t sure what to expect from this new practice, I’m pleased to so quickly be able to enjoy the experience and see some benefits. I’m calmer today starting out than I expected – I had a few flashbacks last night – and it’s good.

I followed it up with breakfast tacos, because happy and calm makes for good breakfast!

For those interested, I’m listening to Aaptiv’s Everyday Meditation on Audible, which is free this month for subscribers.
