The best thing about meditating is that it doesn't require a lot of time. All you need is to set aside 20 minutes per day for this beneficial exercise. Use the following steps to set up your routine for meditating and aim for at least once, if not twice, per day.
1. Select a Time
You want to choose a time that is convenient for you. During this time, make sure that no one disturbs you. You need to feel relaxed, and your mind should be free of worry. Many people enjoy meditating either as the sun comes up or goes down. If possible, you could even meditate outside.
2. A Quiet Location
The environment is critical, as you don't want to have your spouse or children interrupt you. A quiet room in the house or a secluded spot in your garden would work.
3. Your Position
You need to sit comfortably while meditating. While sitting cross-legged or in the lotus position is recommended, it is not always necessary. You can sit comfortably on a chair and still receive the same benefits.
4. Meditate Before Meals
If you eat a large meal, you often feel drained and lethargic. This is why it is best to meditate before you eat. But do not try and meditate if you are on the verge of getting really hungry; otherwise, your concentration levels will be disrupted.
5. Warm-Up
As with any exercise, you should warm up, even if you will just be sitting down. This helps to get your blood flowing to all areas of your body and your brain. Plus, it helps to make you feel more alert and ready to meditate.
6. Smile
Just the act of smiling can help you feel more relaxed and comfortable. Remember you are going to learn how to relax and allow your mind to wander. Feeling happier is one easy way to make this happen.
7. Your Eyes
During the meditation process, you will be sitting or standing with your eyes closed. When your 20 minutes are up, you don't want to rush to open your eyes. Instead, give yourself plenty of time to become aware of your surroundings. Allow your body to return to its conscious state again.
