1. Have warm feelings towards yourself: Aka self-compassion.  Be generous and caring towards yourself!
2. Prepare yourself to observe and learn: That’s the only intention you should take into your meditation.
3. Forgive your own lapses: If you don’t practice when you meant to, don’t feel bad about it, nothing is lost.  Just invite yourself back into the present moment.
4. Find a mindfulness pal: Having someone to share your meditation experiences helps to boost your motivation, commitment, and understanding of what you’re experiencing.
5. Thank yourself afterwards: Show gratitude to yourself for caring enough to meditate mindfully in your busy life.
