I need to feel the way I feel. There is no special way to be except happy that I have this tool and no that I will come out better than when I went in. I need to let go and let the moment be mine. Remember that I can take 5 min to take care of me and don’t let anything or anyone rush that.
I try to think about the good things in my life, as well as how to be better and ways to be more grateful and minimize anxiety symptoms
Try to focus on the breath, you may count 1 on the inhale and 2 on exhale to keep your thoughts at bay. When new thoughts arises, calmly accept the thoughts but return to focusing on the breath.
Meditation becomes successful not when you think about something specific, but when you allow your mind to go where it is going. This will allow your subconscious brain and deep thoughts to come to the surface m, giving you a chance to process them and let them go.
The best answer I think is: nothing. But that’s very hard. So for me it works out the best when I try to relax every muscle till I feel like pudding, jelly, naked snail... Then I ask myself two things: -How is my body feeling, is it trying to tell me something (positive AND negative)? Just let it happen without judgement. -Where is my mind going, and why? Just let it happen without judgement.
It’s not about trying to think about something specific, the mind tends to wander. It’s more about recentering and going back to the breath.
There’s no set thing but try to empty your mind and focus on your physical sensations and breathing. If thoughts run through your mind acknowledge them but let them go like leafs on a stream
Think about your breath. It’s not very interesting but you always have it with you when you are ready to meditate. Of course you will think about other things. When you find yourself thinking of other things, just remember you were thinking about your breath, let go of what else you were thinking about, and go back to thinking about your breath.
I do a body scan - starting with the top of my head down to my feet. I think about my individual body parts and how they feel. Then I do a breathing technique (counting 1 to 10 then starting over). The point is just to exist in the moment and just breathe and feel whatever comes to pass. Not focusing on any one thing. But if your mind wanders, no biggie, go back to counting your breaths.
you should observe the mind, watching thoughts as clouds passing and going, trying to focua your attention on the breath
