You don't have to meditate every day!

You
don't have to meditate every day!

You
don't have to meditate every day!

Say it after me ...

I
don't have to meditate every day!

Phew!! 

I too used to believe the
"every day" lie. And this lie stopped me from meditating. 

Who was I kidding? I knew I was
never going to meditate every day! I'm a busy woman, I've got stuff to do, important stuff, stuff that HAS to get done. Stuff that is way more important than sitting still in silence for 15 minutes. (Pffffttt even non-important stuff is more important than that!)

So I thought, if I commit to starting this meditating-biz and I have to miss a day because of my important stuff (which surely I would), then
whats the point in starting?! I'll just fail anyway. And then I'll never get any of the anti-aging, stress busting, focus clearing, relationship improving, happy vibe-ing benefits that these meditating peeps go on about. 

I know!
I'll wait till I've finished all my important stuff. 

The "important stuff finishes" lie. Important stuff never finishes. Have you noticed that?

So a year or two goes by, important Mish-stuff doesn't finish, and I still want all of these meditating benefits (even more actually because I've heard it helps with all the important stuff!)

So I now have
two choices: commit to meditating every day (which I still know will NEVER happen) OR stop believing the "every day" lie.

Soooo because I'm a girl who wants to have it ALL, the important stuff AND the meditating benefits,
I stopped believing the lie. Simple as that.

I
don't have to meditate every day .... Yehaaar!

I
don't have to meditate every day .... Whoop whoop!

I
don't have to meditate every day .... Wahoo!

Say it after me ...

I
don't have to meditate every day .... Yippee!

Other lies I also gave up are as follows:

I
won't get the meditating benefits unless I meditate every day
I'm
not really a meditator unless I meditate every day
I'm
not doing it right unless I meditate every day
I'm being
lazy and copping-out if I don't meditate every day

Obviously to get the meditating benefits
I do have to meditate regularly, but now I meditate when I choose to. Which is sometimes every day, sometimes twice a day, but never always every day ;-) 

I meditate when it
feels right for me to meditate. I fit it amongst the important stuff and I give it an "important stuff" purpose so that it's inspiring and empowering for me to meditate. If I miss a day, its no biggie, I just do it the next day, or the next day, or the next ...

So
are you willing to give up the "every day" lie? When does it work for you to meditate? Once a week? Once a month? Here and there? Let me know in the comments below and what other lies you're giving up that stop you from doing awesome stuff in your life?!!

Of course, if giving up the "every day" lie doesn't leap you into a meditating frenzy and
it still feels impossible to fit it in, why not click here to book in a regular (weekly, monthly, 6 monthly) Meditation Session with me where you can set aside time for THE most important stuff - YOU!! 

I promise an hour with me will save you at least 2 hours of wasted mind-mess.

And if you'd just be so, so sad to miss out on any future lie busting posts from me,
make absolutely sure you're on the newsletter list by putting your email in the box below and pressing "add me to the list"!

And to finish with my favourite little quote by who knows who:

"Don't believe everything you think!"

it might just be a big fat "every day" lie,
