I use to struggle with the same thing until a friend sent me an Abraham Hicks video. The video was a game-changer for me, because it offered a new perspective. I realize that I didn’t have to sit in one place to achieve my goals that I was looking for in my meditation. What I found that resonated with me is dancing and Qigong before bed. Dancing and Qi allows me to enter into a meditative zone faster. Both practices helps me to release any tension or thoughts. Here’s what hat I do before bed. 1. Set my intention on my outcome - how I want my day to go 2. Write it in my journal - w/ Affirmations 3. I celebrate-dance it out 4 . Drink water - creates a deeper dream connection 5 . Sleeping Time P.S falling asleep is a form of meditation. Why because your mind is shut off from any resistant thoughts, feelings and or emotions that you have been attached to in your day. Hope this helps someone. Amituofo!
You mentioned a good point, but it is difficult for everyone to do some habits, and it is not strange at all that I have not been able to do it so much about my own meditation, but I think I can replace meditation with another way to relax and that I suggest to you. Change the type of meditation you do so that you may be more successful.
I think meditation can be done many ways and there’s no right or wrong way. If you’re having trouble with falling asleep, try a walking meditation. You can still practice clearing your mind and focusing on a single thought while taking a casual walk. If you find yourself getting distracted, just gently bring your thoughts back to focus. There are even guided walking meditations. Just do whatever works for you! There’s no set outcome, the only thing that matters is you try! Good luck!
Well dear l feel like you when you are tired don’t meditate alone use any app that will help you you meditate and relax your brain
It would be to exercise because sometimes when I wake up, I have to immediately do things and have no time. I use to only try in morning or afternoon but then I started at night and that is easier. Not many people need me to do things at night so I have more time to myself and the temperature feels cooler and nice.
I make 10 minutes of meditation a reward after exercise. My body is tired so my mind rests easier. Also I don’t worry if I fall asleep, if I am very tired I will put on a meditation video and just follow the words.
Try to meditate outside on a porch, balcony or terrace. With or without background music or sounds. Sometimes all you need is nature around you.
I find it very hard to exercise. I am not unfit or overweight. To be honest I think it comes down to a few things. A. I am a quite muscular female naturally so as vain as it sounds I am scared to build muscle and look bulky. This is a point of low self esteem for me as my mum would put herself down for looking muscular ... And well I’ve inherited her body so it’s bad self image by proxy. B. I don’t like running or cardiovascular. I am looking for other activities I do like and make it more about fun rather then exercise. I don’t know if anyone can help?
I have to say exercise too... Anyways about meditation, idk what position you’re doing it but i recommend doing it while sitting. I don’t think you could fall asleep while sitting:)
You can try to do it with another person. I personally think meditation is not only with the eyes closed and sitting down, if you are calm and conscious about the present moment you are meditating.
