For the longest time, I never understood meditation. I mean what could be so great about sitting there for extended periods of time in complete silence. I felt like it wasn't for me before I ever tried.

After a messy break up and a decline on my mental health, I was looking for things to help me relax. I wanted to find ways to better my health and life. While conducting research, I stumble across a lot of things about meditation and the law of attraction.

I decided that maybe I should give it a try. As 2018 started, I began looking for guided meditation. I'll admit I failed at first. Sitting there and focusing took so much of my energy that I felt like it wasn't worth it. Not to mention, my legs constantly falling asleep. So, I quit.

Then in the middle of March I made the decision to try it again. I was more selective on the types of meditations I was practicing. That's where my meditation journey really started.

It's become one of my favorite things to do. I listen to at least one guided meditation a day. Typically, I carve out 30 minutes of my day, either when I first get up or right before bed. It's a time where I can be dedicated to myself.

It's important to have goals for what you are trying to achieve through your meditation. Currently, my journey is all about self-love. It allows me to time to focus on me. I don't have to worry about what I need to get done or the problems on my life.

I get to sit there with intent as my mind is guided through it's own journey of visualization. It allows my body to relax, while my mind works out.

I can honestly say I've felt a difference in myself since I began meditating. I feel more grounded and connected with myself. It's like I'm in tune with my surrounding. I've felt less anxious lately.

I highly recommend meditating for anyone who is looking for a relaxing activity that works the mind. It has so many benefits for a variety of people. It's changing my life one meditation at a time.
