Ability to log Meditation

[anish09]

Just like we have the ability to manually log Food, Water, Exercise in Fitbit, we should have the ability to log Meditation. It would be good to have this as an independent activity that we can set goals and measure against just like Food or Exercise targets.

I'd like to be able to manually log a meditation session into Fitbit app on Android.

Hi @MichaelJO, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to log Meditation. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". I hope to see you around.

I agree. It would be useful to add in the time I've spent meditating.

I use a different app for my meditation and would like the ability to manually add that to my Sense tile like you can manually add exercise.

Hi everyone, and thanks for sharing this suggestion. We’re very happy to let you know that this has been released on the Fitbit app as you're now able to log your meditation sessions by doing the following:

1. Open the Fitbit app on your mobile device.
2. On the Exercise tile tap the + icon > Log.
3. On the Log section, type Meditating.
4. Enter your activity details, and tap Add.

@anish09, in recognition of your excellent suggestion, each of your votes will now count as 5 votes – you have the power!

We hope you all enjoy this new addition to the Fitbit product or service!

Thanks for trying to incorporate meditation...but logging it this way does not appear to register as mindfulness practice. I've waited a few minutes now and it's not showing up as a mindfulness session. It's showing as a form of physical exercise. This does not seem useful to me, either in aiding physical or mental health.

Agreed! Two reasons, 1. Last night I did a mindfulness session in the FitBit app but this morning it's not logged so I would like to be able to fix that. 2. I often do mindfulness activities on my own, separate from the Fitbit options which I would also like the ability to add

Like many others I would like to be able to log my own meditation practice.

I would like to be able to track my mindfulness but I do not use the meditations on app. I would like to be able to manually put in my meditation time without having to hit relax mode on my Sense or use a fitbit meditation. There is currently no way to do that. also like to be able to edit manually in case I miss a day inputting information.
