Do not worry about whether or not you’re doing it right. If you’re too busy worrying about meditating the “proper” way then you won’t actually be helping yourself. At that point you will be practicing worry and negativity, instead of calm and awareness.
It may help to focus your mind on one mantra like “I love myself” if you need to practice a little more self-compassion in your life or “I am strong” if you’re feeling run down. You can also focus on each breath as it goes in and out of your body.
A little background nature music can help set the tone or you can can use guided meditations to help you get in the vibe. My husband and I use the Calm app for our morning meditations. It has guided recordings as well as nature sounds and sleep stories if you need help falling asleep at night.
If you really commit to a daily practice, you could buy a buckwheat meditation pillow to sit cross-legged on the floor. It really helps you get into a nice straight comfortable posture. I love mine. They’re available on Amazon.
Now get out there and meditate!
I’m definitely happy you told me about the Good Morning, I Love You, it’s been a huge help for overall happiness and mindfulness. The meditation had been great too and the best way to start the day. Thank you for all the tips <3!!
You are so welcome! I’m happy you got something out of it 🙂
