8 week Meditation Promise
Pretty self-explanatory, today I start my journey of my 8 week Meditation Promise.
Q:Why am I doing this?
A: For my mind. You see, everyone has a limited “I-give-a-fuck” budget. Giving fucks to situations/people/things consumes your energy, state of mind. I want to keep my peace of mind at a supreme priority.
Q:Why do I choose the word “Promise” rather than the preferred millennial term “Challenge”?
A: Strictly Personal Choice. Challenge is not a word, I believe, we should connect if we want to bind a positive energy to anything. For me, “Promise” has more durability than “challenge”. But, read into it as you will.
Q: Why am I posting it on the internet?
A: This is my version of inescapable contractual binding.
