Why not just continue where you left off?
When I've done 30-day challenges, I've measured my success in a couple of ways. First, did I complete my goal every day? 29 of 30? 25 of 30? Second, if I missed a few days, why?
What can I learn from that "failure"? For the June Challenge in particular, I learned at least as much from my "failures" as from my successes. Figuring out what motivates me, how to frame my goals, how to measure success, and what to adjust to make success easy are all as important as actually completing the goal.
What I learned about meditation so far is this: If I meditate laying down, I fall asleep. Meditating when tired is hard. There are many ways to meditate, it's worth trying a variety of methods, some appeal more to me than others, and that's okay.
