Set Your Intention

Begin by clarifying why you want to meditate. Whether it’s for reducing stress, increasing focus, or promoting overall well-being, having a clear intention helps maintain motivation.

• Write down your reasons for meditating in a journal.
• Set a specific goal for what you wish to achieve with your practice.

Choose a Convenient Time

Consistency is key in establishing any routine. Identify a time of day that best suits your lifestyle and commit to meditating at that time each day.

• Consider early mornings or late evenings when distractions are minimal.
• If your schedule is hectic, try shorter sessions during breaks.

Create a Calm Environment

Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can meditate without interruptions. Your environment should be conducive to relaxation and focus.

• Add elements like candles, cushions, or soothing music to enhance your space.
• Make sure your phone is on silent or switched off.

Start Small and Build Gradually

If you're new to meditation, begin with short 5-minute sessions and increase the duration as you become more comfortable.

• Use guided meditation apps or YouTube videos for initial guidance.
• Gradually aim to reach 20-minute sessions as you progress.

Track Your Progress

Keeping a meditation journal can be beneficial to observe your growth and changes over time.

• Note any thoughts, feelings, or breakthroughs post-meditation.
• Reflect weekly to adjust your practice as needed.
