Meditating at night is good, though. I try it for 5 minutes and if I still want to keep going I hit snooze on my phone. It's good for balancing my brain before I go to sleep.
Then I read a fiction book before sleep, to distract myself so that I will be thinking about the story instead of my own life as I'm going to sleep.
I realized that walking meditation could be a great way for me to meditate some during the day. I take one or two walks a day.
Sometimes I use the walks to think about something. For instance, before my phone appointment, I would practice what I planned to say to my doctor, almost like practicing a presentation.
But today I didn't have anything that I needed to think about during my walk, so I did the walking meditation thing.
It's one that I learned from DA retreats- where you just walk around and look at whatever you see. It's much easier to avoid "thinking" because you keep seeing things around you that keep your mind occupied. And you can see things you wouldn't have seen otherwise.
I think my dad does this when he's running.
