New Month's Resolutions

Thanks for creating this thread, @shanaqui! I am planning on doing the whole year.

This is my index post: New Month's Resolutions - #8 by felixm.

For January, my goal is meditation retrospective. I have noticed that the quality of my meditation sessions has started to fluctuate widely over the last couple of months. Sometimes I hit really deep states, and sometimes I am solving Problem Euler or AoC challenges in my head for the whole hour.

The purpose of this goal is to send a (at least) sixty seconds voice message to myself after each meditation session, reflecting on how focused I was and what my mind was mostly occupied with. My hope is that this will improve my awareness and intention.

It may seem counter intuitive to do it after the session, but there is already an intention setting at the beginning of the session. My idea is that knowing that I will have to justify myself to myself will subconsciously help me to try harder. We will see how it goes.
