Missing a day of meditation won't erase the benefits you've already gained. It's like going to the gym: one missed workout won't undo all your progress, but consistency is key for long-term benefits.
Here's what might happen:
- You might feel a bit less centered: The calm and focus you cultivate through meditation might be slightly less pronounced.
- It may be harder to get back into the routine: The longer you skip, the more challenging it might be to re-establish your practice.
- You may notice a slight decrease in mindfulness: Your ability to be present and aware in daily life might diminish slightly.
Don't worry too much about missing a day. The important thing is to keep coming back to your practice. If you miss a day, don't dwell on it. Simply pick up where you left off and focus on being present in the moment.
