How long should I meditate each day?
I’m really dedicated to starting a meditation practice and wonder how long I should meditate each day to see benefits.

I’d say it depends on your comfort level! Starting with just 5–10 minutes daily is effective for beginners. As you become more comfortable, you can gradually increase the time.

I’ve found that 20 minutes feels perfect for me. It’s long enough to dive deep but not so long that it becomes overwhelming. Try to experiment with different durations to find what works for you!

Consistency matters more than length! Even just 5 minutes every day can yield benefits if done regularly. Establishing a habit is crucial, so stick to a time that fits seamlessly into your routine

Try not to stress about the exact time. Focus on how you feel during and after your sessions. Sometimes, shorter, more impactful meditations can be more beneficial than longer, distracted sessions.

When I first started, I used a meditation timer app to notify me when I reached my desired time. It helped me stay relaxed and focused during my sessions instead of worrying about time.
