Stress much? I hear ya. As much as I love yoga and running, I’m still a bundle of nerves at the end of the day. Lately, I’ve been reading a lot about meditation, so I decided to give it a go myself.

Turns out, meditation isn’t as easy as it looks. Sure, you’re just sort of sitting there (easiest thing I’ve done all day!), but you’re also working to clear your mind. I decided to try a 5 minute meditation (it’s best to start small). I turned off all of my gadgets and pulled up a seat on in the living room. I’ve been practicing yoga for a looong time, so sitting still and focusing wasn’t that hard.

The tough part? I didn’t feel like I’d accomplished anything. Meditation is something you have to commit to, so a simple 5 minute sesh isn’t gonna overhaul your life. With regular practice, though, you can zap stress and anxiety. Plus, it’s supposed to be beneficial if you’re getting over a fear. The bottom line? I’m sticking with meditation—at least for a while.

Hey girls....

I practice Ashtanga yoga and i too have done lots of meditating... Not to but in or anything, but i saw alot of comments about keeping your head clear while meditating. I had this problem alot when i first started, but i find focusing on a colour helps. I know it sounds weird, but my yoga teacher suggested it and it REALLY helped. Like try this: think about yellow. See it, feel it, breathe it. Eventually you should kind of faze out. If anyone has any questions about yoga or meditating, feel free to ask
