I gave up on building a meditation habit on my own and instead started paying for Headspace. Probably a wise decision. Four days in now.

@plexus headspace is the subscription i refuse to cancel but am wasting so much money on... building a habit is hard :(

@socksy I think it will help me a lot to just have something to tick off every day. I had a pretty good run on duolingo because I refused to break my streak :)

@plexus I had a similar issue a while ago. Once upon a time when I was coming back from shopping in my neighbourhood I decided to take a small detour and came across a meditation centre. Walked in, liked it. Now go there very often :)

@plexus I really liked Headspace! I use Insight Timer now, not quite as high quality, but free.

@plexus I've been using it for more than a year now (300 sessions), worth the money. After a ~60 day streak I made a decision to forget it and just do it Monday-Friday.

@boy_tech my main annoyance right now are the ten minute sessions. I've meditated quite a bit in the past and ten minutes is just too short. 20~30 would be better.

@plexus That's just in the beginning. Once you get through the intro sessions you can choose the length.

@plexus oh good to know, just started on headspace about 10 days ago, was pondering.
I can tell the guy who's doing the sessions is a pro, but was slightly annoyed by the cutesy animation, and wasn't sure whether it was all a bait and switch tactic :)

@elisehuard yeah haven't seen many animations lately, I guess that's more to bait people in :) On day 16 now (or 26 if you count the ten free sessions, but I did those like half a year ago).
