> 1. Body-Find a quiet spot. Help your body feel fully supported by finding a position that is comfortable for you. Lying down or sitting are both great. You can use pillows or blankets to help yourself get comfortable.
2. Mind-Give your mind permission to set aside to-do lists, worries, and stresses in your life. There is nothing you need to “achieve” in meditation, you are simply practicing being in the present and becoming aware of your mind and body without judgement.
3. Breath-Use the breath to refocus on the present moment when you get distracted. Deep breaths, especially long exhales will help your brain to slow down. Music:
