People binge meditation on vacation, feel transformed, then disappear for three weeks at home.
Intensity creates stories. Consistency creates identity. You are someone who meditates daily — not someone who once had a great weekend.
Groups catch the drop-off fast. Two missed check-ins is a pattern; five is a quit.
Lower the bar until the bar is daily. Raise duration only after the streak survives the boring middle.
Sit today at the same time you sat yesterday — even briefly.
