This week I decided to go to a different park a little farther from me but with a better view. I noticed that I started feeling more relaxed before I had even begun meditating, I overlooked the view on the side of the hill and just appreciated it. I believe that this helped out the most with meditating and maintaining the carefree thoughts that I had afterward. At this point I have learned that setting up a decent mindset prior to starting is a good strategy for getting the most out of meditation. I noticed that, unlike my past sessions, I felt less anxious and level-headed for the rest of the day rather than just a few hours or moments afterward. Meditating is beginning to feel more of a hobby rather than an obligation now and I am going to try to go for three days a week next week!
