New Year Meditation FAQ

When should I start New Year meditation practice?

Start now, before January 1st. Beginning your meditation practice in late December helps you process the ending year, clarify authentic intentions, and enter 2026 with grounded presence rather than frantic resolution-setting on New Year's Day.

How is New Year meditation different from regular meditation?

New Year meditation specifically addresses the unique emotional challenges of fresh starts: resolution pressure, goal-setting anxiety, past year reflection, and the cultural expectation to transform overnight. StillMind's AI creates sessions tailored to these specific New Year stressors.

What if I've failed at New Year resolutions before?

That's exactly why meditation helps. AI-guided sessions focus on sustainable intentions and self-compassion rather than crash goals. You'll learn to set realistic expectations, honor your current capacity, and approach change with curiosity instead of judgment.

Can meditation help me actually stick to my 2026 goals?

Yes. Regular meditation practice builds the self-awareness and emotional regulation that support lasting behavior change. StillMind helps you track your meditation consistency throughout January and beyond, creating the mindful foundation for achieving authentic goals.

How long should New Year meditation sessions be?

StillMind's AI creates sessions ranging from 5-20 minutes based on your needs. Even brief daily meditation during the New Year transition period helps you stay grounded amid resolution pressure. You control the length based on your schedule and emotional capacity.
