First time Posting ...Meditation Goal

@politeSail4743 Hey! Meditation is a great activity that gives us the chance to ground ourselves in the current moment in our mind and body. Think of it as a chance to give yourself stability for dealing with the ups and downs the day gives you, and the safe harbor you can always return to throughout the day if things feel too out of control or overwhelming. Even if it's something as quick and easy as focusing on your breath (in your nose, and out your mouth) for 1-3 minutes!
@politeSail4743 Hi! So glad to hear meditation is working for you, it's something i always strive to do to help keep my mind healthy. I haven't got to the point where i can do it everyday, but it's definitely my go-to if i'm feeling stressed and can't keep my thoughts from racing. All the best :)

Of course you are worth the time and effort.
Meditation can be a tough goal for many so there are some simpler ways of meditating that might help when time is short or you feel that you need a little peace time.
Did you know you can actually meditate when walking or doing the washing up or sitting on the settee with the tv on?
- of course make sure you are safe and not operating machinery etc -
All it takes are a few deep breaths, slowly in through the nose and then slowly out through the nose.
concentrate and focus on that air flow and controlling it so that it is slow and steady.
That should start to slow things down and calm your mind.
There are lots of guided meditations and visualisations that work really well :)
