Meditation Challenge: Let's Give Ourselves a REST

I'm excited and I hope you all are too! This challenge will not only spread the light on how awesome meditation is for all of you who have never tried it, but it will keep both M and I accountable to each other so that we get our meditation on too! I try very hard to meditate daily, but sometimes life gets in the way and it is impossible! Or is it? (Trick question)

"There are eight hours of 24 hours that you are asleep, 8 hours working...what are you doing for the other EIGHT HOURS?"

Did you think about it, did you make all the excuses as to how busy you are and how all the petty crap is SO IMPORTANT? Is your anxiety done now? Ok, great, NOW we can begin on how you need to make time for yourself. What is ten minutes going to do to your busy schedule???? NOTHING!

Meditation is proven by all research to be beneficial on multiple levels. What an easy and relaxing practice to get acquainted with that will help your body, mind and spirit!

As I had stated in a previous post, I meditate when I walk my dog. It's called walking meditation. You can even do this in the grocery store! I've just started researching baby meditation and how you can meditate with your infant which, in turn, instills the practice of meditation within your infant. Message me if you have an infant or toddler and ill share this practice method with you!!!

The challenge is simple! Meditate for ten minutes every day. That's it! Your anxiety will give you a million and one reasons as to why you cannot fit it in that day, don't listen! Do it anyways! You can meditate in the shower, on the toilet, in the grocery store, in the office and pretty much anywhere and in any way that you choose! SO, anxiety has no excuse. Slow down and take ten minutes to turn your breath on and your brain OFF!

For those of you who are new at this start with the Mindful Meditation method lying down. Concentrate on deep breathing first and then focus your entire mind on relaxing each body part starting with your toes. Lie still and relax your toes, your shins, your knees, your thighs, you pelvis, your stomach, your rib cage, your chest, your fingers, your forearms......all the way to your head! Keep practicing that and you will find it easier to get to that deep meditation quicker each time!

I am beginning my meditation with a Mindful Meditation in my bedroom lying down and breathing deep! Where will you begin your challenge?

If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to email or message us and we will be more than happy to help! :)

Peace. Love. RELAX.
