## Messages to send Mindie
- Morning practice as a habit: "Track a daily habit: 10 minutes of meditation, check in with me every day at 7am"
- A midday pause: "Every weekday at 1pm remind me to do a 5 minute breathing break"
- Before bed: "Every day at 10pm remind me to meditate before I pick up my phone in bed"

A meditation reminder on WhatsApp is a message at the time you set aside to sit, with a streak that grows every day you reply done. With Mindie, send "track a daily habit: 10 minutes of meditation, check in with me every day at 7am" and the check-in comes every morning.

Starting a meditation practice is easy; keeping it is not. A few good days are followed by a busy one, the session gets skipped, and without anything to show the run of days, it doesn't feel like much was lost.

## When to be reminded

- **First thing in the morning,** before email and messages.
- **In the middle of the workday,** for a short breathing break.
- **Before bed,** in place of scrolling.

## Why the practice fades

- **No fixed time.** "Sometime today" rarely arrives.
- **Missing one day feels harmless,** and then it's a week.
- **Progress is invisible,** so there's nothing to protect.

## Habits that help

- **Keep it short at first.** Five minutes every day beats twenty once a week.
- **Use the same spot** each time, so sitting down there becomes the cue.
- **Write a line afterwards.** A short note on how it went pairs well with [journaling](/reminders/journaling).

## How Mindie handles it

1. **Set the habit** with a time, in a message or a voice note.
2. **Reply done** after each session. Mindie keeps your streak.
3. **Snooze it** when the moment isn't right, like "snooze 30 minutes".

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't guide sessions** or play audio.
- **It isn't mental health care.** If you're struggling, talk to your doctor or a therapist.
- **It doesn't connect to other apps** beyond calendar and Notion sync, and reminders come only to your own chat.

## FAQ

### Does Mindie guide the meditation?
No. Mindie doesn't play audio or guide sessions. Use whatever method or app you like; Mindie reminds you to do it.

### How does the streak work?
Set it as a daily habit and reply done after each session. Mindie counts the days in a row and shows your streak.

### Can I set a goal, like 30 days in a row?
Yes. Set a goal and Mindie tracks your progress toward it as you check in.

### How long should a session be?
Mindie doesn't set a length. Many beginners start with a few minutes, because a short session is easier to keep up every day.

### Can I change the time on busy days?
Yes. Reply to the check-in, like "push it to 9pm", and Mindie moves that day's nudge.
