How often should I meditate?

The short answer: as regularly as you can sustain. For most people that means a short session most days.

A simple starting point

• Aim for daily, even if it’s just 5–10 minutes.
• A little every day builds the habit and the skill faster than an occasional long sit.
• Missed a day? Don’t make it a big deal, just pick it back up tomorrow.

Why daily works

Meditation is a skill, and skills grow with repetition. Practicing daily keeps the “returning your attention” muscle warm, so it gets easier and carries into the rest of your day.

Make it stick

• Anchor it to an existing habit: right after you wake up, or before bed.
• Set a daily reminder in the app so you don’t have to rely on memory.
• Watch your streak: a gentle nudge to keep the chain going.

Start smaller than you think you should. A habit you keep is worth more than an ambitious plan you drop.
