meditation
for beginners
There are many benefits to meditating daily. Some of these benefits include reduced stress, increased attention and even improved memory.
The most common struggle among people however, is how to actually become good at it.
The truth is there are many ways to meditate. Adjusting to your preferences is key as you begin to practice mindfulness.
Here are a few simple tips to help you get started with meditation.
Create a quiet, intentional space in your home. This could be a reading nook or even a specific corner of your couch!
Once in your spot, focus your attention on your breathing. Take in deep breaths, hold them in for 5 seconds and exhale. Repeat 5 times.
Playing relaxing music is another great way to help with meditation if you find it difficult to quiet your mind.
If you find it hard to sit still, walks in nature is another option. Choose 3 things in your life that you are grateful for and reflect on why as you walk.
