Does one missed sit ever snowball into a week for you?
Hi everyone. I’ve done multiple 10-day courses. At home, I’m usually quite disciplined — I can sit two sessions a day (about 1 hour each).
But I noticed a pattern that surprised me: sometimes I miss one session on one day. And that single miss can create a chain reaction. The next day becomes easier to skip. Then I suddenly realize I’ve missed several days.
It’s not about "not knowing how to sit." It’s more like once the rhythm is broken, the mind is very good at delaying the restart.
I’m curious if others experience the same thing — even people who are generally disciplined. I’m considering starting a very simple silent group-sit for people who struggle with the get back on track (including me), so I want to understand whether this pattern is actually common.
And if yes: do you think a silent online group sit—mic off (and maybe camera-on for accountability), no talking—would help people restart after they miss a day? Not a discussion group, not teaching, not a replacement for anything — just people sitting at the same time in silence, to make it easier to restart after a break.
Would that feel supportive to you, or would it feel unnecessary / distracting?
Metta.
