26🎈celebrated my birthday in the Cotswolds and it was glorious! Last year I started a little birthday tradition of writing down a few goals for the year ahead in my phone notes. It’s so nice to reflect back and then plan for the year ahead, and after this past year I’m feeling v hopeful✨

Beginners guide to mindfulness meditation💭✨

Beginners guide to mindfulness meditation💭✨

I've been meditating on and off for around two years. Usually no more than 10-15 minutes at a time, and even that's been enough for me to feel calmer day to day.

Here's 10 tips to get you started, and things I wish I'd known before I did…

1. It's okay if thoughts come up, the act of noticing them and allowing them to just be and coming back to the present moment is meditation in itself.

2. You don't have to sit with your legs crossed. You can sit on a chair with your back straight and feet touching the floor, or even lying down.

3. It can feel strange at first, it's not often we sit and just be in the present. Try to sit with that feeling and know it's normal.

4. You don't have to close your eyes, just lower your gaze if that feels better for you.

5. Guided meditations are the perfect place to start.

6. Use your breathe as an anchor to the present moment, focus on the inhale and exhale.

7. Start small and work your way up to longer practises, even if it's just 5 minutes to begin with.

8. Be an observer of your thoughts and feelings, allow yourself to detach from them.

9. Meditation is intentionally bringing your attention back to the present moment, so you need to be relaxed yet focused.

10. Try to go into a practise without any expectations of yourself. Some days you'll see more thoughts come and go, some days your mind will be racing and it will feel more difficult... That's okay!

Have you tried meditating before?🙏🏼
