I will meditate for minimum 10 minutes every day for 60 consecutive days using Headspace app to reduce anxiety and improve focus.
SECTION B: BREAKDOWN OF STEPS
Days 1-15: Establish morning meditation routine (6 AM), use Headspace Basics course, 10 minutes daily, track mood before/after.
Days 16-30: Increase to 15 minutes daily, try different meditation styles (body scan, loving-kindness), journal insights weekly.
