Meditation

[JustGeorge]

Maybe you should know your stress.

Make it the best stress you ever had.

Can you elaborate on this?

Would you say that meditation must be consistently practiced then? Not just for a month until you’re feeling better?

That's a personal decision that only you can make. If you decide to develop a detailed meditation practice and tailor it to your own worldview, yes, you may need to practice consistently, even if you feel better. Meditation can become a cornerstone of one's psychology—an anchor that helps to keep you steady whether you're struggling or doing well. If this is something you want to make a part of your life, I think practicing is well worth it.

I'd like to start meditating. I've had a lot of stress and I noticed that the main way I deal with it is suppressing it, because there's not much else I can do. There's a lot of responsibilities that I have, and a lot of things I worry about on top of it. I just worry that it is unhealthy, even though I feel alright.

Would meditating 15 minutes a day be enough? And how specifically do you do it (I'd rather not watch a five minute video or read a lengthy article, just simple instructions)

Every time I've tried meditating in the past I would only do it for a couple weeks then stop. Maybe that's okay though, maybe I don't have to do it every day for the rest of my life, just when I need to.

I play mahjong on my computer or online. The music is relaxing. Plus you get to play a game

Would you say that meditation must be consistently practiced then?

Yes, like one would with physical exercise.
