Yes it has, I’ve learned that you have to believe in yourself enough to complete what you start,i have learned how to be able to take on a task everyday by having things in order or at a scheduled time, i have learned to smile, laugh and have fun and i learned how to deal with my feelings instead of running from them.

Yes it has. I’ve learned that I can accomplish whatever I set my mind to...just gave to knock down those barriers that are in my way

Yes, I find that meditation forces me to pause and reflect on myself and my actions. I use guided meditation as a way to teach myself to be more self aware and present.

Yes, I prefer mindfulness meditation. This type of meditation allows me to observe the internal patterns of my mind body

Yes, I started noticing how hard and cruel I was on myself. And I learned that our minds are good storytellers, we just need to change the frequency and not engage on negative thoughts and feelings. That’s a skill and it is developed through meditation!

Yes, meditation has helped me realize more quickly when my mind is starting to spiral in a negative direction and be able to choose to think about something else. This calms me

Meditation has allowed me to notice how self involved I can get and that, when I get this self involved, I should take a step back and really look at the simplicity of my life and that problems that seem huge today will be nothing in a years time.

I learned about myself that I can control the way I think. And it helps me think responses better or desicions better. I can breathe mentally, and be aware that my body relaxes when I breathe the way I should. Meditation helps my body relax so when I’m stressed i can sleep better and wake up refreshed.

Yes, that I am in control of how I perceive my life. I chose how to react to the situations life tends to throw at me.

Meditation has helped me embrace a growth mindset for my own self care journey. Freeing my mind of worried thinking is very difficult for me, and practicing gentle redirection free of judgement transfers a similar expression of acceptance and kindness in other arenas.
