You will be more relaxed \ud83d\ude0c. Try to find a quiet place around your home so you can&#39;t get distracted by noise and you can also have some calm music playing in low volume \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rosa C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">it Often happens we lose focus while meditating&#8230; I suggest this because I usually do this. This morn only helps me stay back in focus, acts like a breather and also helps you feel focused and positive through out the day. <\/p>\n<p>You simply have to focus on your self and you\u2019re goals. What you intend to achieve, or become. See it clear in your mind, as you have already achieved it. Like it\u2019s  the present. For example if you want to buy your dream car, imagine yourself driving it, gown the steering wheels and seats feel against your palms. Reflect on your happiness by gaining it. See yourself driving it around your fav places. Etc&#8230; I promise. You will feel refreshed if you do this. Thanks<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alexander N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I start off by doing small meditations each night. Maybe it\u2019s a specific goal or guided meditation. Then depending on my energy I give myself longer or shorter meditations. I lay down or sit back and think \u201cI\u2019m going to get x amount of time to just feel and be present\u201d and the feeling afterwards is always warm and inviting. Slowly increasing how long I meditate based on my energy works great for me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Joshua P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Meditation honestly takes practice, it takes focus. If at all possible try sitting in a quite room, make your area comfortable and relaxing. I find meditation Playlist to play and focus on the music. When any thoughts come to mind I try focusing on just one thought. People usually state to start on just focusing on your breathing technique so it becomes second nature on how you breathe and is a good starting point to get your mind to focus on one thing at a time. Again, it takes a lot of practice, but the more you do it the easier it becomes. There&#39;s also different forms&#x2F;reasons for meditation. Find out what works best for you, there&#39;s a lot of research that can be done to help you out more with that as well. You can do it to be more mindful, to release any negative energy, to train the mind to focus, even simply to just allow yourself to feel all the emotions you have built up good and bad, and let it flow. Just be patient with yourself, meditation is all a process of finding yourself and understanding yourself as well as life and to keep yourself grounded. Best of luck to you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nair Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hello there !<br \/>\nWe all tend to procrastinate things that might be important to us. If you want to increase the duration of your meditation , ask yourself- why . The how will automatically come ! : ) Motivation for anything stems from within and once you start practising meditation on a consistent basis for 20-30 minutes everyday, it will change your life. Case in example &#8211; Me ! But don&#39;t get your expectations too high. My life has changed in the sense that I am more mindful of the things I do , and it enables me to focus more , feel accomplished and live happily,  even if I am alone in a crowd. <\/p>\n<p>I hope you found it useful.
