Reflecting on One Year of Consistent Meditation

A year and a half ago, the meditation mustard seed was planted in my brain by none other than...Chelsea Handler. I know, not the meditation master you were expecting right, but it's true. During the summer between my junior and senior years of high school I took Handler’s book, Life Will be the Death of Me, on vacation and devoured it. I related so much to Handler and the way she spoke about meditation really sold the practice, so when I got home, I downloaded Headspace, a guided meditation app and timer, and began my journey. I stuck to it for a bit and even made it through the month-long beginner's course, but soon after life got in the way. I was so busy juggling school, college applications, work, and family life that one day I turned the Headspace app off and never turned it back on...until quarantine!
