We Tried It: Meditation

 
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 that are offering to give advice:
Can you please not post your advice introduction on articles? I'm not trying to be mean, but its kind of annoying when I'm trying to read other girls comments about the article and every other comment is someone offering to give advice. Please consider posting it on your profile instead. Thank you so much!! And I'm really sorry if i sounded bossy or mean. Thanks again!!

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

Moderator!
How do you clear your mind? I tried it and it is IMPOSSIBLE on thinking about nothing. every when i try my mind either thinks relax or think about nothing. it never works. so i decide to thinkk about my goals and achieving them. It never works though! It makes me feel even more stressed and kind of forced to do the goal. I turn off everything and even clse my window and it doesn't work. I REALLY wanna meditate. please help!

 

Hey girlie, focus on the present moment. Even if you're telling yourself to relax that's a good start!

MOD! MOD! MOD!
hey. i have this english class at my new school and my classmates and i were going around meeting eachother. just shaking hands and saying our name. i met this one guy and he had the same name of a guy i dated last july. i dated him for a few days just talking on the phone. he was in the same grade went to a different school that was ten minutes from my school and we never knew what eachother looked like because my cousin set us up and we never got around to seeing eachother so yeah he had the same name and had mentioned he was switching schools like me but he didnt tell me where he was going. so i really think this is the one i dated how should i start talking to him? thanks Smile

 

Hey girlie, definitely start talking to him! Ask him if it is him so that way you know for sure. And hopefully it'll work out better this time when you get to see him more!

MOD! MOD!! Hey! 1 Umm how do you clear your mind? I mean when you meditate when you start aren't you thinking about something? I'm confused but might want to start meditate. And 2 are you saying it can replace running?

 

Hey girlie, meditating is exercise for your mind, but you'll still have to do another exercise to keep your body in shape. To clear your mind you need to quiet the voice in your head and focus on the present moment.

I meditated before at this church camp I went to. It worked and was kind of fun but I couldn't commit to it. Running works best for me.
