Try to meditate at roughly the same time at least four to five times a week.

Choose a time that works with your daily routine.

For many people, first thing in the morning is best before you’ve been sucked into any responsibilities (emailing, getting kids up, making breakfast). But any time that works for you is perfect.

Put it in your calendar and let your roommates, partner, workmates, or kids know that you are unplugged for that period (and that they will also benefit from being calmer and kinder).
