Hey guys,

Let’s talk meditation!🧘‍♀️
When I first heard about meditation I honestly didn’t think it was for me, but it wasn’t until I had a snippet of it at the end of one of my yoga sessions that I thought maybe I should give this a try.

If you would like to hear about how yoga helped me please click on how yoga helped me live a more peaceful life.

Let’s get to it, so after a couple of yoga sessions where we did 10 minutes of meditation at the end of our session I thought I would give this a go.
After I would finish our meditation I really did feel calmer.
I decided to try some YouTube meditation for beginners, at first honestly I did find it hard to keep my mind still i would say I struggled the first few session as my mind just kept wondering off.

Now I am a big over thinker and I do think about things more in depth than I probably should.

I did persist thou as I really did want to give it a chance and after doing some 20 minute morning meditations I really did start to notice a difference.

At first I would find that things that would bother me before stopped bothering me as much, I would be walking my dog and feel a sense of peace and have some really lovely conversations with some other dog walkers.

I just felt calm like I could handle situations better and with more patience and calmness.

I know that meditation doesn’t work for everyone and I didn’t think it would me at first either, but after being consistent with it I really did notice a difference with my outlook on my life and how my mind felt more still and I didn’t overthink as much as I usually would.

I would love to hear your feedback on those who tried this out, please do let me know.

I remember the day I decided enough was enough as I was laying on my sofa in tears, so unhappy with my life. I never thought I would be where I am today living a much more happier and positive life, below I will share with you how gratitude helped me on my journey of selfcare and a more positive life.

I found gratitude one of the fastest ways to feel more positive, I started to take note of the things in my life that I was generally happy and grateful for rather than the lack in my life.

We’re all guilty of looking at our life’s and noticing all the things we want but don’t have. I am guilty of this, I actually done this for an extremely long time and all it did was make me feel even worse.

So one day I woke up and decided to think of all the things I was grateful for, whether it be big or small, a cup of tea, the food I was eating for breakfast/lunch/dinner, I started to feel grateful for hot water so I could have a nice hot bubble bath, the list goes on. Sometimes I notice we’re not actually grateful for something until it becomes something we HAD, this was my case when it came to my car breaking down and ending up in the garage for a few days, I honestly didn’t realise how much i relied on my car until i no longer had it.

I always felt like i didn’t have any clothes until I actually went through my wardrobe to have a clear out to realise how many clothes i actually had.

If you can try and start your day with listing 5 things your grateful for to start with, big or small you may notice a shift in your mood, it definitely helped and still helps me today.

Gratitude is just 1 of the many things that helped me personally to live a more happier and positive life and I really hope you can start your day with this and it helps you too.

Hugs
