How significant is meditating to you?

I think it is important, and I have see some positive effects. But I still struggle to maintain an active routine.

I've been meditating since I was 12, only way I could fall asleep back then. Once you get to the point where you can actually meditate on something (versus clearing your head completely for whatever length of time) there are a few more benefits and it's those benefits that are significant to me.

There have been so many studies that have shown multiple benefits of meditation that it's kind of hard to ignore. I'd say do it even if you think its dumb. It's really not a huge commitment to do it everyday anyways and the worst thing that'll happen is you have 20 to 30 minutes of quiet time to calm your mind.

I'm religious so prayer is my actual meditation.

Very helpful

Most important habit for me. Meditation grounds me. From meditation, all other positive habits and goals become clear and obvious to me.

If by "meditating" you mean "lying under another sweaty 220lbs guy, who is trying to choke me unconcious and to break my limbs, forcing you to stay in the moment", then my answer is: "very important".

Else: "Meh."

My methods of meditation are what help me concentrate on my homework to actually get it done. So pretty damn important.

I consider very long bicycle rides as my meditation and I take it very seriously. I'll go out late at night, crank on a podcast or Music and crush a 40 mile ride and finish with such a clear mind.

Important, not that much but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it on a regular basis.

I was raised by a Buddhist mother so it's always been ""there"", but it's only in the past year or so that it's become a big part of my life. It definitely helps and is a good habit to have.
