How is everyone feeling after class 2? Meditation anyone?

Remember, meditation is another tool in our toolbox, and one that has significant benefits.

Practice meditation for 3 minutes each day, preferably around the same time each day, and be patient with yourself. It's OK for a thought to come up. We aren't trying to do away with thoughts. We just don't want to get stuck on it. As we practiced in class, like a cloud, visualize your thoughts passing on.

Share with us how it's going, any challenges you might be facing, or any wins you've had this week!

    Thank you for this note - 3 minutes - that sure helps me think of doing it! The "carve out 20 min and it will be worth it" seems like too big a hill to climb. So i like your advice here.

    I have found that the key to having a successful meditation practice is to remind yourself you don't have to be an overachiever! Just 3 minutes a day can have a SIGNIFICANT and positive impact on your overall wellbeing. Isn't that great?! Let us know how you feel after 3 minutes!

    I'm hoping everyone has had an opportunity to practice meditating. Sometimes, we resisit that which we need the most. I know it can be hard to find the time to do this, but I promise it will help you. Even just 3 minutes a day! Try it!

    I'm so happy to hear that. It is a powerful tool that really does help in stressful situations. GREAT JOB! Keep it up... do you use a guided meditaiton, an app, or sit and focus on your breathing? I would love to hear what works best for you!

    Since the cancer I’ve been on a journey. So I’ve been reading daily devotional, essential oils, exercise and yoga with the deep breathing. I’m searching to find what makes me happy.
