The only change I made to the plan is that I started at 5 minutes for the 3 minute meditations and increased to 10 minutes on Day 4 (I knew this would work for me). However, any amount of time is “enough”

I never expected to find such a clear and practical explanation for meditation in a book related to weight! I wish I had read something like this back when I started meditating years ago and had unrealistic expectations such as: I’m supposed to completely clear my mind (impossible for me!lol); I’m supposed to sit and place my hands in specific ways; I’m supposed to do x amount of time, etc. All resulting in “I suck at this!”

I kept giving up, until I decided to do it my way and eventually started using apps (I still use Insight Timer)

As for the daily meditation sections in this book: They are self-guided and breath centered. The prompts are good and I journaled as I went along.

By the way, I did not use this specifically to lose weight - I stumbled upon this book and used it to keep myself accountable for 21 days and re-establish my daily meditation-yoga practice . 🧘🏻‍♀️

⚠️ - I debated putting this in because I like the book and find the content worthwhile. However, if you are struggling with Primary (maybe even secondary) Infertility issues, there’s a tiny section that may annoy/hurt you. It’s totally unintentional by the author (that’s obvious...it looks like she has devoted her life to helping others), but comes across a little like “see? She meditated, lost the weight and ta-da! She’s pregnant “ - but it’s a super tiny section and the “good” in the rest of the book outweighs this - but I’ve been there and know what that feels like and would be remiss not to mention it.🤷🏼‍♀️… (meer)
