Meditation does not require a large chunk of sustained time, nor is it too difficult to get into.
Psychologist Mike Brooks busts the misconception that it’s about emptying your mind.
Instead, meditation is about focusing on one thing.
Brooks explains it better:
People think the goal of meditation is to empty the mind.
It’s not about clearing the mind; it’s about focusing on one thing.
When the mind wanders, the meditation isn’t a failure.
Our brain is like a wayward puppy, out of control.
Catching it and putting it back to the object of focus is the mediation.
One of my favorite tricks is to focus on your breath and count it.
We’ve talked about this and more techniques inour beginner’s guide to meditation.
It’s natural for that to happen, especially if you’re new to meditation.
Do it in short bursts throughout the day, you’ll get better at it.
