Meditation is your sure shot defense against stress, depression, anxiety and a great many other issues that can trouble you mentally and physically. It is also a fantastic way to unwind, relax, rejuvenate and reconnect with your inner self, especially when there is a tendency to be stressed and lose mental and physical health in the pursuit of a lifestyle predisposed to stress. Meditation is a life boat, really, and one should definitely invest in some time meditating. If you don’t find the inclination to meditate, or find yourself where you are psychologically lazy about meditating, here are some simple things you can keep in mind so you push yourself to meditate!

• Don’t put pressure on yourself to meditate. There’s no point stressing about meditating, right? So take it easy, and be conscious and mindful of your actions – that’s one way of meditating, too. Focus on your breathing, be conscious of your here and now, and be mindful of your choices, activities and thoughts, and keep a conscious check on your basic needs.
• Practice meditating even if you are not an expert – don’t give up or become lazy about it because it isn’t going as you want it to. Only practice makes perfect!

• Maintain good posture, by focusing on your body. Bad posture can result in improper breathing and other physical conditions – while meditating, relax your body but in a good posture.
• To keep your focus on meditation, make it a point to count – count your breathing pattern, or count beats – just keep your mind focused on it.

• Set time aside to meditate. Whatever your schedule is, factor 5 minutes, or a few more minutes, to meditate, and add this in your to-do list. When you do this, you make a commitment that you can and will stick to.
• Make space to meditate – find a place where you are both, happy and comfortable, and are not likely to be disturbed, in order to meditate.

• Do your research and get your knowledge in order so that you can meditate comfortably.
• Disconnect from electronics and the outside world when you are going to meditate – it is all these beeping machines around us that keep us away from being able to concentrate.

• Rise early, and sleep early, and eat healthy. Keeping regular sleep cycles, and regular and healthy food or eating cycles will help you keep your body and mind in good order.
