- I'm new to meditation. I'm not a very good meditator- At first I started to do 10 minutes a day, but it didn't stick- Now I meditate 2 minutes a day- After a couple of weeks, I found it working- I now stop myself before I get into an argument with someone (ex - my wife, family)- The 2 min meditation has allowed me to think things through before I open my mouth- I think this type of meditation can also help you from smoking weed when the thought of smoking comes thru your brain
