Chapter 09 — Big & Curious
How do I start meditating?
Ten minutes a day, sitting comfortably, focus on breath, notice when your mind wanders and come back — that's the whole practice. Apps (Headspace, Waking Up, Insight Timer) help with structure.
Follow-up questions
Do I have to clear my mind?
No — that's the myth that makes people quit. The noticing is the practice.
Best time?
Morning locks in the habit; evening helps sleep. Consistent time matters more than which time.
