Five Meditation Tips for Beginners

  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 and commitment, as well as understanding of what you’re experiencing.
  5. Thank yourself afterwards: show gratitude to yourself for caring enough to meditate mindfully in your busy life.

See Stress as an Opportunity

Stress is less about what happens to you and more about how you take it.  Learn a new point of view:

See your stress as:

“interesting”                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

“challenging”                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

“exciting”
