Technalink continues to be a huge advocate for the benefits of meditation, whether that’s at work or home. However, the best way to benefit from meditation is to do it regularly; that is, to turn it into a habit. Here are three tips for making this a recurring part of your life if you’re just starting.
Set A Regular Time
This is probably the most important part in the formation of any routine, not just meditation. By doing something regularly, at the same time, you can now structure and plan around it. Find a time that works best for you, whether that’s a few minutes in the car before work, at the office after lunch, or at home toward the end of your day.
Find A Good Place
A meditation spot doesn’t have to be perfect, but it should be comfortable. This doesn’t mean finding some place with cushions so you can maintain a lotus position, either. Depending on how you prefer to meditate, whether that’s lying down, sitting up, or even walking, can be critical to making this an accessible, regular activity.
Go Easy On Yourself
Even if your mind does wander or you find yourself unable to focus on breathing or meditation exercises for long periods, it’s important to accept this. As with learning to paint or play a musical instrument, this is an art that takes time to develop. Embrace the baby steps and understand that this is a process where you build the skill up, little by little, through small progressions over time. Accept mistakes, and move on. Don’t let them stop you.
