 Mike fly on tiktok says they meditate for Every morning for one hour and then they read for one to two hours. Is that a bad thing? now my opinion on this is Is based on my experience obviously I haven't looked into the actual science behind You know the diminishing returns that might happen Let's say if you meditate for six hours a day You might get a bit more benefit compared to meditating for two hours a day or one hour or even half an hour But my guess is that there will be kind of like diminishing returns and this is the case with a lot of different things a lot of healthy habits Exercises a good example sleep is another example, right? There's kind of a sweet spot in many and I haven't looked into whether this is true for meditation But I'm guessing it is and there's kind of a sweet spot with things like exercise and sleep Right if you sleep too little you feel tired and your immune system gets weaker and you know, it's not good If you sleep too much so more than let's say 10 or 11 hours a day unless you're a baby or a toddler or something If you sleep too much, then it has the opposite effect. It actually makes you lethargic in it. It's bad for you So with meditation My opinion is that you should be meditating at least once a day Ideally in the morning like as soon as you wake up and there's a couple of reasons why you might want to do it in the morning Compared to let's say another time in the day and I'll get onto those in a second but you want to consider that with habits especially positive habits when you're trying to build them up and meditation is a prime example of that it's very easy to kind of Start doing something start meditating every day and then you after a week or so you stop you give up And this is the case with a lot of positive habits. You'll find that because they're how can I say this? They're not as Instantly rewarding as let's say a negative habit something that will give you instant gratification An instant hit a dopamine. Let's say because they're not as rewarding in that sense They can be hard to build up the habit So what I'm trying to say is I would much rather suggest that you meditate for two minutes a day Then for one hour a day if you're not going to stick to it because the chances are if you and I don't know how long You know how long you've been meditating for an hour a day But if you're kind of like a beginner and you come in and start meditating for an hour a day thinking like yeah I'm just gonna do it. I'm gonna meditate for this time That's great But the chances are less likely that you'll stick with it because it's such a long time And so what happens is you end up missing it completely So what I would recommend and this is what this is what I kind of suggest to people who messaged saying like how do I Get started meditating literally just set a time on your phone for 60 seconds Right and just do that just meditate for 60 seconds a day So one minute a day everyone can do that right everyone can meditate for 60 seconds It's a very small length of time But what happens is it builds up the habit so that after let's say two weeks have gone by two months have Gone by it's very easy to stick to doing that you can always find 60 seconds to meditate and You build up the habit so it becomes a lot easier to do it compared to let's say somebody who they get super excited about meditation They learn how important it is they learn about the benefits They they kind of figure out in there in their mind that okay meditation is something I should be doing And they go all in and they say right I'm gonna meditate for an hour a day or two hours a day You know and some people do that but what happens is then after a week or so they fall off They stop doing that and this has always been the case like Even in my experience as well. I've had to kind of learn the best way of doing this with my morning routines I used to have an insanely long morning routine which would take two or three hours to complete and it would Involve like doing lots of loads loads of different things meditating for half an hour You know walking outside going and exercising Coming back then doing like an advanced journaling series and then learning Spanish and then do all of these things When really what I needed to do is bring down the time that it takes me to do the morning routine So that I'm more likely to stick with it every single day because the key with well any any positive habit really meditation Especially is that you do it every day So it's far better to do it for two minutes a day every day for six months than for one hour a day every day for a week So I hope that kind of makes sense. I hope that answers your question Mike or Mike fly on tiktok. All right Mike fly says they've been meditating for six months. That's a long time. Keep it up
