How to Practice Meditation

Types:

Guided mediations

where a voice is guiding you through your mediation - a great way to start or for if you have trouble silencing your thoughts

Breathing exercises

activates the parasympathetic nervous system (calming) and great for grounding

Body scan

technique for tuning into the body, scanning how the body is feeling from head to toe

Walking

very effective for grounding and unwinding the mind, even better in spaces with nature

Benefits:

reduced anxiety, depression, stress and pain

improved self control, focus, self care and clarity

Tips:

find the right technique for you - what works for one person may not suit everyone.

start small - if you can't commit to 10 minutes a day, then commit to 1 minute.

youtube is full of guided meditations of numerous lengths and purposes - for mindfulness, for mornings, for energy, etc.

reminder to de-stress

practice some deep breathing exercises. inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth. repeat a few times until you feel more relaxed.

step away from what’s causing you stress. even a short break can help reset your mind. go for a walk, stretch, or simply sit in a quiet place for a few minutes.

talk to a friend or family member. sharing your feelings and having a supportive conversation can make a big difference in how you feel.

have a relaxing bedtime routine and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night.

remember, it’s important to take care of yourself. finding what works best for you to de-stress is so important for your mental health. take it one step at a time and be kind to yourself 💖

today on "it's cheaper than therapy:" here's a great way to decompress when you're upset about something.

1. download this image:

2. When your mind feels heavy, open the image in an add-text-to-photo app and write out your thoughts and feeling and everything clouding your mind, then overlay it on the dark clouded portion of the image- in black text, so it's written, it's not deleted, but it's also not legible, so you aren't dwelling on it.

3. Insert something that makes you happy in the doorway on the bottom half, and put the name of said thing in between "omg" and "hi"

4. save meme and feel less sad!
