Creating New Habits

Starting positive actions like a meditation practice or writing in your journal can seem daunting but by starting with small or baby steps makes it easier to create a daily habit.

Many meditation instructions recommend starting with 10 or 15 minutes but this can be stressful or confronting a beginner. Try setting a time to sit after a daily cycle like brushing your teeth or making the bed and just sit for a few breaths and within a few days or weeks, this will be a strong habit and much easier to extend the sitting or journaling time when you are ready.
