Why 30m Meditation Per Day?

Switching to a "30 min per day" commitment is much more flexible and fitting, allowing me to give it my true commitment.

But why give true commitment - an unreasonable, unforgiving level of dedication - to a seemingly silly exercise?

Meditation & Landmark go hand-in-hand.  Mindfulness, enlightened by the insights of Landmark, allow you to live in the real world and escape your own stories and meaning making mechanisms.  

Now the 2018 goal of 3min-per-hour-average of mindfulness has a purpose - it means I am constantly coming off it and generating the "nothingness" from which I can engage in whatever possibilities I want.

If the power of landmark is nothing, mindfulness is the tool that allows you to generate that power.  It puts the power of landmark in your hands over and over again every day.  From there, you can actually achieve things like your "deal-work goals", once the possibility / "how" is figured out.

It's also worth noting that in the past, I was so inconsistent with mindfulness it literally was a waste of time.  Looking at the 10 weeks of Q1, counting for NAs, I actually averaged 15.5% frame integrity on my meditations.  15%!!!  At that rate, mental mastery is a hopeless pipe dream of despair.

Now that I'm truely committed - and expect to see #'s in the 90's - I can resume the path of mental mastery.  When you work out daily, you BUILD muscle - when you meditate daily, you BUILD your mind.  

Why 30m meditation per day?  Because the most important thing I can build is my mind, and mediation is a sure fire way of doing it.
