As we head into a new year some of us may be setting goals for the upcoming year. If you're looking for a way to improve your mental, spiritual, and physical well-being, you may want to consider adding daily meditation to your routine (or maybe you've already set daily meditation as your resolution which is why you're here ❤️). Meditation has been shown to provide numerous benefits, including reducing stress, improving focus and concentration, and enhancing self-awareness. Additionally, meditation can help create a more positive outlook on life and promote feelings of calmness and relaxation. Although we are in the business of selling tools to improve your meditation you don't actually have to spend any money to start a hugely beneficial meditation practice, all you need is a quiet place to sit or lie down, and some comfortable clothing.
Here are some helpful tips to get you meditation off to a great start in the new year.
Tips for a successful meditation
If you want to get the most of your meditation sessions, there are a few key tips you should keep in mind.
- Find a comfortable position. Whether that means sitting or lying down, it doesn’t matter as long as it allows you to stay still and relaxed.
- Set aside a dedicated time each day where you can devote your full attention to your practice and free yourself from any external distractions.
- As you begin a meditation practice some new comers find that using guided meditations are a helpful way to get a feel for what a mediation can look like (search youtube or your favorite streaming service for lots of options)
- Finally, let go of the concept of trying to achieve success during meditation. Meditation isn’t about mastering something but rather allowing yourself to just sit with yourself and be present in the moment — no judgment or expectation of results. By following these meditation tips, you can maximize the benefit of this beneficial practice on both your physical and mental well-being!
There is no one size fits all when it comes to meditation so be kind to yourself as you find what works best for you. Some people need music, other's need to use active meditation to calm the mind. Make finding what works best for you fun, meditation shouldn't be a chose but something you look forward to so if you're struggling to stick with it try switching things up
Happy Meditation! 🧘♀️
May your new year be filled with relaxation, clarity and peace!💖
