For the first time, I’m participating in the Oprah & Deepak Meditation Challenge. I think of it as the Oprah/Chopra thing. Rhyming names are more fun, and making meditation fun helps me stick with it.
I’ve been told they do a free challenge with a different theme at least once a year. I’ve never been a follower of Oprah or Deepak Chopra, but I did want something that would hold me accountable to a daily meditation process. I’m on day 18 of 21, so we’ll see if it sticks. My theory is I need about two years to establish a habit, which means I don’t have very many good habits. š
Some of the daily themes struck me as more thought-provoking than others. This was from day 17 and has stuck with me. Have you found a meditation regimen that you love? Please share in the comments.
I like this idea! I’ve been wanting to integrate meditation into my daily routines but nothing has stuck yet. Thank you for letting me know about this challenge š

I like this thought! I have a hard time meditating. I have a “monkey mind”, which is great for when I’m writing, but not so great when trying to focus my brain on meditative pursuits. LOL Now I’m off to convince my characters in this WIP that unpredictability is going to be good for them. š

I am struggling with a meditation practice, too. I love how I feel when I meditate regularly but I have trouble adding meditation into my daily routine.
I love the idea of viewing unpredictability as creative possibility. I wonder how to put that into practice though. Uncertainty throws me for a loop. Even though everything is uncertain, I somehow keep thinking that I have control! š
Thanks for this post, I’ll be thinking about this all day.
