Meditation/medication – Headspace

No Comments

I’m halfway through ‘take 10’, the free Headspace programme I started recently . Here are a few thought on it:

  1. Don’t even attempt it at night after taking medication. You will fall asleep – instantly.

It’s my second week back on medication, so hopefully this will complement. I’m going to try Headspace again, see if I can get into a good routine and keep it. It’s always those 5 weeks before you break a habit that you have to get past.
