We all unwind in different ways (confession: my favorite way is with/by [insert guilty pleasure], but have you ever tried meditation? Taking a few minutes out of your day to relax and reflect on your thoughts can do wonders for your mind, body, and stress levels. Here are a few things to keep in mind when learning how to meditate:
- Maintain a straight spine while sitting cross-legged in a chair or on the floor.
- Focus on your breathing—in through the nose and out through the mouth.
- Focus on something that makes you happy!
And don’t worry if you get distracted—focus is like a muscle and meditation will help strengthen it!
