Try this if you can't sit still for a 30 minute meditation #shorts #reels
As a person who couldn't sit still for a 30 minute meditation, here's what I did to get started. I think to have the right mindset, you have to allow yourself to pause and recover. And that means taking breaks and getting enough sleep. And if you add meditation into that mix, I think that's taking it into another level. But what if you can’t sit still? I know that feeling well. Instead of fighting for 30 minutes, I started with five minutes. That’s it. Here are a few ways you can find those five minutes of stillness: ☀️ Go for a quiet walk outside. 🌸 Sit on your porch and just look around. 🧘🏻♂️ Sit still inside with no music and no phone. For me, I started with just sitting for five minutes every morning. I broke it down so my brain won't wander too much. ⏱️ 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞: Just focus on my breath. Notice it going in and out. ⏱️ 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨: Think about gratitude. What was I truly thankful for from the day before? ⏱️ 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞: Set an intention for the day. What's the main outcome I want? ⏱️ 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞: Think about my big vision. Where did I want my business and my family life to be in the long run? This five-minute routine was all I could handle at first. But by planting those thoughts—that vision and those outcomes—I was planting seeds. I was repeating affirmations. Doing this every day, those seeds grew. A lot of the things I focused on eventually came true. You don't need a huge time commitment to start. Just find those five minutes of stillness. Go for that short walk, or just sit with your coffee. ❤🙏 What's your go-to routine for finding stillness or recharging?
