Starting with Meditation: A simple guide to building a routine that sticks.

A couple of suggestions to help you succeed on your meditation journey.

Start Small: Begin with just 5 minutes a day. As you get more comfortable, gradually increase the time.

Create a Quiet Space: Find a peaceful spot in your home where you can meditate without distractions. Light a candle or play soft music to create a calming atmosphere.

Focus on Your Breath: Pay attention to your breathing as it flows in and out. If your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to your breath.

Use Guided Meditations: Apps like Headspace or Calm offer guided sessions that are perfect for beginners. These can help you stay on track and provide structure.

Consistency is Key: Try to meditate at the same time each day, whether it’s in the morning to start your day or in the evening to unwind.

Be Patient with Yourself: It's normal for your mind to wander during meditation. The goal isn’t to stop your thoughts but to gently guide your focus back to the present moment.
