Practice mindfulness and meditation from "summary" of Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies by Tara Schuster
Mindfulness and meditation are two practices that can bring immense benefit to your life. Mindfulness is all about being present in the moment, paying attention to what is happening right now without judgment. It allows you to fully experience your emotions, thoughts, and sensations without getting caught up in them. Meditation, on the other hand, is a way to train your mind to focus and become more aware. It involves sitting quietly and observing your thoughts as they come and go. Through regular practice, meditation can help you become more centered, less reactive, and more in tune with yourself. Both mindfulness and meditation can help you manage stress, anxiety, and other negative emotions. They can also improve your focus, creativity, and overall well-being. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience that will serve you well in all areas of your life. To start practicing mindfulness and meditation, find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably without distractions. Set aside a few minutes each day to simply be still and present. Focus on your breath, noticing the sensations as you inhale and exhale. When your mind inevitably wanders, gently bring your attention back to your breath. As you become more comfortable with these practices, you can experiment with different techniques such as guided meditations, body scans, or loving-kindness meditations. The key is to be patient with yourself and approach these practices with an open mind and heart. Over time, you will begin to notice the benefits of mindfulness and meditation seeping into all aspects of your life.
