3 things everyone should know about Meditation...
1. its not as complicated as you might think
2. it resets your nervous system, helping you feel clearer, calmer, and more relaxed
3. you really only need a few minutes and don’t need any fancy pillows or equipment
Before I became a mama, I used to have a morning routine which included meditation (the whole morning routine was 15 min). The house would be quiet and I would be able to have this deep, cleansing session each morning that set my day off of the most peaceful, calm way. It was glorious!
Thennnnn, the babies came and there was ‘no time’, it wasn’t quiet, or it was nap time so it was my shower time, or there were teething cranky babies that are in between leeps and sleep regressions and teething on top of it all. What I came to realize is that there is no perfect way to meditate when you have a full day from the moment you open your eyes til you close them at night. But it IS easy to stop and meditate (close eyes, go within and take big deep belly breaths) even if you can only do it for 5, 10, 30 seconds, it helps tremendously! I found little pockets during the day to close my eyes and take deep breaths and let my mind clear. With two young kids, it was hard to find time, but I needed to...sometimes it was even in the bathroom 😂, sometimes during a feeding, and other times it was when the kids were playing in front of me. It wasn't like my quiet morning ritual before kids, but it was all I had and it helped me reset my mind and body to get back into the calm me that I needed to be for them.
So, my point here is this…your most ideal meditation spot won’t be accessible all the times you might need to take a beat and go within. It can be done anywhere (well, not while driving, obviously), it doesn’t have to be the perfect space each time.
What matters most, is that you get the time you need to take those breaths and go within so you can feel better and be the best you.
