We are surrounded with so much distraction. I cannot avoid certain apps, but I want to keep my attention span. I'm doing Isha meditstion practices, and they are helping when I do them regularly. I'm curious to hear what kind of practices that have worked for you in improving your attention span? submitted by /u/Rich_Shock_7206 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I used to meditate religiously, as soon as I wake up after a cold shower before work, my life has changed or more so... I've become who i always was but with no anxiety and full confidence to be who I am, I am me now and I love me. I started seeing a girl in June and seeing her alot, she's my girlfriend now and was staying with her, lives like 2 hours away from me, so I stopped meditating like that because i was with her and spending time with her. What I've come to realise is what I've learned not meditating regularly I've almost learned more about myself? because I think i was too dependant ..read more
