40 days: 11 minutes

Last night I completed 40 days of meditating for 11 minutes a day. I was teaching myself to learn to sit still and train myself not react to physical stimulus, which can be a challenge when your leg is twitching. I am now going to extend my meditation time. I am thankful for having the time to focus on this and learn. It really calms my mind and helps me to sleep soundly.
