Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far :)
I wanted to share that I recently started to go along to a guided meditation around the corner from home. To be honest, sitting in silence with just me and my thoughts was a little daunting.
Not that my mind isn't a pleasant, wild and interesting place to hang out but when I've just finished a big day at work. It's the pace of thoughts that has me vibrating.
I really like how Smiling Mind describes the impact mindful practice has on our brains. You can read it here.
And, you can read the full research article here.
The thing I love about meditation and mindfulness is that it can be done anywhere. Why don't you give it a go when you get home tonight.
Lay down a nice blanket, light a candle and put on some soft music. Feel entitled to take the time to relax and observe how your body is feeling and visualise writing down any concerns you have, tearing off the paper and throwing it away.
I hope this leaves you feeling lighter for having spent time with yourself and eliminating thoughts that serve no real purpose.
For those of you that are well versed at meditation, please share with us what you visualise to relax and let go :)
