The first two weeks with Mendi are all about getting familiar with the headset, the app, and how your focus feels during training. You’re not aiming for perfect scores yet; you’re simply building a habit and learning how your brain responds.
Week 1: Getting comfortable
Focus on setup and consistency, not performance.
Try short sessions (3 minutes) at least three times this week (on different days) in a quiet, softly lit space.
Pay attention to how different conditions; lighting, posture, mood, affect your signal and focus.
Don’t worry if your ball moves unpredictably or your scores vary; your brain is learning the feedback loop.
Week 2: Finding your rhythm
As training feels more natural, you’ll start noticing steadier ball movement and smoother breathing.
Keep sessions around 3-5 minutes, ideally at the same time each day.
Watch your Mendi Score and Performance Scores (Neural Activity, Oxygenation, Control) for gradual improvement — even small changes mean your brain is adapting.
Use the Mood Tracker or short reflections to notice how focus and calmness carry over into your day.
What’s normal early on
Scores may fluctuate widely.
Some users feel calm or slightly tired after sessions; others feel more alert. Both are healthy responses.
Missing a day doesn’t undo progress; just return to your routine when possible.
📈 Tip: Consistency builds results. Most users begin to see meaningful progress after 4–8 weeks of regular training.
