Day
Four: Take Five (Minutes to Meditate)
Meditation
seems like a thing that only yoga teachers do, but it doesn't need to
be a whole thing to be effective. Don't worry about accomplishing
anything or reaching some sort of enlightenment when you do it; just
the fact that you're taking a few minutes to calm down and focus on
your breathing is huge. If you don't know where to start, just sit
quietly and focus on breathing in and out, slowly, for two minutes.
Then work up to five minutes the next time you do it.
You’ll
be doing yourself a favor by just doing nothing but breathe for a
little while and
it
feels good to be mindful and present in the moment.
