Simple ways to make meditation part of even the busiest schedule
For many working adults, one of the most difficult things about meditation can be finding the time to squeeze a session into your busy schedule.
Try these 3 techniques that make meditating convenient and relaxing.
Meditating for Five Minutes or Less
Eventually, you may decide to devote more time and effort to meditation to realize greater insights, but even small doses can calm your mind. Each day brings many opportunities for contemplation.
1. Stop on red. You may start looking forward to red lights if you use them for a refreshing break. Focus on your breath and appreciate the world around you.
2. Take advantage of routine tasks. Empty your mind and your dishwasher at the same time. As you remove forks and plates, clear out nagging resentments and doubts.
3. Ease stressful moments. Meditate on whatever disturbs you. Being annoyed with a salesclerk who rang up your purchase without putting down their phone could remind you to listen more attentively to family and friends. Let it be a teachable moment that creates more harmony.
