There are so many ways to meditate and each type can help you. So, find the type that works for you!

Once I realized I could move while meditating and even make sounds while meditating, that is when it became fun for me.
Today:
Try using the “Breathe in Peace & Calm, Breathe Out and Smile” exercise while moving. Maybe on a walk up the stairs or while driving your car. Or just right now wherever you are, get up and walk or stretch and do it! If you have time you can do it for up to a minute, but even 8 seconds counts!
