It's easy. Just focus completely on your breathing when you inhale and exhale and before you know it, 5 minutes has passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen where monks are meditating for extended periods of time and it looks so unreal. How they completely shut off everything and go for hours with meditation 🧘♂️ is incredible.

It looks funny but that's how it's been with me for ages. Mediation isn't for me and it's why I can't have it in my morning routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here mate, instead of meditating I substitute it with workout and exercises as part of my morning routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, they aren't mutually exclusive. You can do both in the mornings - at least that's what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I devote about 45 minutes to workout in the morning, I don't do meditations because I am very much ready and active for the rest of the days activities after a good workout in the morning. Meditations aren't just my thing, you can combine the two if you like though but that's not my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
