ESTABLISHED 2012

I’ve recently completed just over 100 consecutive days of meditation and I want to share with you my results.

Although I have meditated in the past, I’d never done it consistently for so long.

The reason I started it, was to feel more centred, calm and serene in my mind and body.

I also hoped daily meditations would ignite some inner inspiration in me and offer me more clarity of thought.

Together with the meditations, I also did affirmations, visualisations, created a vision board, did gratitude journalling, recorded meditation reflections, added to a new bucket list and read specialist self-development books.

What initially started out as a five minute guided meditation from YouTube, turned into a full one hour morning mindset session everyday.

So what outcomes, if any, did I achieve from the process?

1. I definitely felt better after every meditation. More calm, happier and ignited with ideas. To my surprise, these good feelings lasted throughout the day
2. My posture improved, as I became aware of how to sit correctly for meditations, and I began to carry that good posture all day.
3. I became more intently focussed on the future and what that looks like for me.
4. By visualising a healthier, more energetic me, I started to make better nutritional choices.
5. I ditched the caffeine coffee recently – that’s a whole new blog post!
6. I drink much more water now than before I started the process. I have also eliminated all fizzy drinks.
7. I gained a lot more clarity on where I’m at and where I’m going.
8. Surprisingly, others started giving me compliments on looking better.
9. I introduced light exercise into my daily routine and continue to do that.
10. I have greater energy and feel more youthful.
11. My relationships with others improved, because I felt happier and calmer from within.
12. I became luckier – yes, I really did and everything seemed to be going my way.
13. My sleep improved – even more without the coffees.
14. I had greater mental energy and stronger focus to plan things.
15. I felt more inner contentment and present.

To get all of the above from 100 days of meditation, still amazes me to this day.

One good habit had such a positive ripple effect and further good habits became integrated ito my daily routine.

Good behaviour, really does breed good behaviour!

So why stop?

Well, from doing the meditations, I decided to commit more time to write more. I am now doing daily blog posts for the next 100 days, BUT I will restart the meditations very soon.

I preferred shorter 5-20 minutes guided meditations. These had a greater impact on me throughout my day.

I made a conscious decision to fully commit to the daily meditations – so I made it a priority.

I’d love to know what good experiences you’ve had with meditation practice – please share in the comments section below.
