Why Short Meditations Can Be So Powerful

So meditation for those that feel like meditation isn't for them.

This one's really important for me because I would say the typical meditation model wouldn't necessarily fit my personality.

And I designed my meditations because I taught high school students who were also really busy and felt similar to me.

So I created small accessible ones for them and for myself.

And.

.

.

Because of that,

It'll land and it'll work.

So that's where you need to really be discerning with the meditations and the things you do,

Not because people are doing them wrong.

You need to find what works for you.

I'm committed to doing the short ones.

I do it during the day,

In between conversations,

Like even just in my mind now.

I do little things where I take breaks and do a minute or two.

And I really do think it improves my productivity and flow throughout the day.

Also,

I'm a huge fan of it not just being sitting still and meditating.

I like to have a lot of music behind my meditations.

It helps me visualize,

Really connect with it.

I also am a huge fan of walking in nature and doing it.

Nature I find really grounding.

And then when I do the meditation with the rhythm of my walk,

And I just think about it as I'm walking,

It really lands on me differently.

The other way I access them a lot is post-workout.

So if I do a workout,

I really like to end with a meditation.

So workout puts you in a sympathetic state and you go nice and high.

And then meditation ideally brings you back down into a parasympathetic.

So it's really affirming on your body.

It's really good for you.

And it's a really good way to teach your body.

I rise and I restore.

And that's something that has been very impactful on me and my journey.

And I hope it helps you too.
