If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times: Meditation is so good for you in so many ways.
Regular meditation can lower blood pressure, reduce levels of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline and increase overall satisfaction and happiness.
The benefits of meditation are evidence-based and overwhelmingly positive.
Meditation is also free, takes only a few minutes per day and can be done almost anywhere.
So why doesn’t everyone take advantage of this panacea?
One reason may be that the people who could benefit the most from meditation have the hardest time getting started.
Busy people with restless minds, racing thoughts or endless to-do lists often try meditation once or twice but struggle to commit to a regular practice.
If you’re in this camp, it’s possible that you tried a type of meditation that didn’t really work for you. Or it was during a time in your life when it wasn’t ideal to commit to a new habit.
If you’ve longed for the benefits of meditation but haven’t quite established a routine (for whatever reason), we hope these tips will help you create the meditation practice you’ve always wanted.
