Even Stillness Needs Rest

🧘‍♂️ Meditation Journey – Day 26: When Meditation Feels Like Sleep

Hello and welcome back to my world — the space where I continue this quiet, evolving journey of meditation. 🧘‍♀️ It’s officially Day 26, and honestly, I can’t believe I’ve come this far.

Somewhere deep inside, I can finally say it — this routine has now become a habit. That 30-minute slot, which once felt like a long, dragging effort, now flows so naturally. Yesterday and today, I noticed it — there was no feeling of waiting for time to pass, no internal resistance. Just calm presence. ⏳✨

Now let’s talk about today’s meditation review. If you ask me whether I had some deep experience or a moment of realization today — then no, not really. Still nothing extraordinary happened during the session.

But something curious did happen — I can still vividly feel the sensation and presence of what I experienced two days ago. That moment of stillness… that space of clarity… it stayed with me, like a beautiful memory imprinted in my system. Isn’t that fascinating? How some moments stretch beyond time, while others simply pass?

So what's different now? What’s missing?

Well, I believe the answer lies in sleep. 😴
If you’ve been following along, you might remember that yesterday I talked about how sleep affects my ability to meditate effectively.

Today, I dug deeper. I realized something more important than just “sleep hours” — it’s about quality sleep. Last night, I did get around 7 hours of rest — a good number, right? But even then, I didn’t wake up feeling fully refreshed or present.

And that’s when it hit me:

It’s not just the amount of sleep you get — it’s the quality that truly matters.
Just like everything else in life, the universal truth applies here too: quality over quantity. 💯

Now you might ask — “Man, how is that such a big deal?”

Let me tell you. These days, my meditation sessions are beginning to feel like just another nap. I find myself drifting — not in awareness, but in drowsiness. 😵‍💫 That’s not what I’m here for. I’ve already had glimpses of what true meditation feels like — that powerful space where you're present, aware, and connected. Now that I know what’s possible, I can’t unsee it.

That’s the dilemma — once you've tasted clarity, you can’t settle for confusion.
So what’s the next move?

🔍 I need to upgrade my lifestyle, fix the inner disturbances, and optimize sleep quality, not just quantity. Because if I want to experience the full movie — not just a few trailer scenes — I have to stay conscious, not half-asleep.

And that’s something I’m committed to doing.

This journey keeps teaching me something important:
Things that seem simple — like sitting down to breathe or getting enough sleep — aren’t always that easy. And the real test isn’t whether it’s simple or complex, but whether you’re ready to face the discomfort when problems show up. Most people just quit when things get tough. I won’t. 💪

So from today onward, I’ll be exploring tips, tricks, and lifestyle shifts that might help improve my sleep quality. I already discovered one little trick — something that might work. I won’t spoil it just yet 😉. Let me test it tonight and I’ll share the results with you in tomorrow’s update.

Until then,
Stay curious. Stay awake (literally 😂).
Peace out. ✌️

My first Blog

🌍 Hello to the World – Day 1 This is my first blog post. I was thinking about what I should write, but then I remembered a quote: "Your first try will always be your worst." So I stopped letting negative thoughts and perfection hold me back. I focused on just one thing — creating this blog without hesitation . 🤔 Why Do I Want to Write a Blog? This question popped into my mind. And honestly, I had a pretty good answer. As human beings, we have the urge to make life an adventure — to live stories worth telling. And maybe, somewhere out there, a stranger will read our story and feel inspired. I want to experience that feeling — even just once. The best way to do that is to write it down and share it with the world . It’s like sailing on a journey for hidden treasure , writing about the challenges we face and letting others learn from them. From now on, I’ll be sharing my real journey with you — the experiments, the struggles, the new ideas — so maybe you can become bett...

Not in the way you expect, but the kind of wild where you sit there after the session thinking — “What just happened to me?” Let me break it down for you 👇 The good news first — today I experienced something completely new again, and honestly, sometimes I just sit and think: what is going on? 😂 You know, before I started meditation, I used to think okay, maybe I’ll get peace of mind , maybe I’ll feel bliss , maybe I’ll suddenly become some monk-like enlightened human . Spoiler alert 🚨 — It’s not working like that… yet. This whole meditation thing has become like one giant experiment 🔬. And here’s the fun part: What you expect might not happen at all .

Building My Mind, One Breath at a Time

🧘‍♂️ A New Challenge Begins: 30 Minutes of Meditation for 30 Days There are so many challenges we can try out... but the hardest part is figuring out where to start . So, I asked ChatGPT for some ideas — and to be honest, it gave me three interesting ones: Wake up at 6:00 AM daily ⏰ Quit social media for 30 days 🚫📱 Learn a new skill like graphic design or video editing 🎨🎥 All of these are great — but they didn’t feel like me . Why? Because I can already wake up at 4 AM with ease. I’m not even that active on social media — I just use YouTube and Instagram occasionally for entertainment. What I need is something more rare , powerful , and mentally tough . Something that pushes my limits and builds me up — from within. That’s when an idea hit me… 💡 🧠 Let’s Talk About Meditation We’ve all heard people say, “Meditate for 5 minutes a day — it helps.” And maybe it does. But let’s be real — 5 minutes might bring some calm, but the quality and depth of that experience? I...
