Thread: Are all day type RC's necessary?

I would go for mindfulness instead of ADA. ADA is just too exhausting in my opinion.

I think that the hardest part of these practices, is that you really need to stick to it. It can be really frustrating when you give a 100% and you don't see any results after some weeks.

I agree, and I understand about the frustration. But take a different mindset instead: you're doing the mindfulness not for "instant lucidity" or for any particular tangible future of happiness that is conditional upon your wishes coming true (which is the opposite of traditional mindfulness which teaches you to be content living in the present moment), but because it leads to a better life. Lucidity is a side benefit. It's a journey, not a destination.
