Instead of trying meditation once and giving up after 5 minutes try a longer meditation practice first.

Start with 15-20 minutes at first. At this point in a meditation you will begin to feel the effects. Longer durations of meditation will help more than the short sessions.

It will increase your awareness, happiness, attitude and overall energy.

It’s going to be tough to get through the first 20 minutes but it is worth it.

Forget everything you’ve heard in the past about meditation.

Try 20 minutes today. If you can’t focus for the full 20 minutes that’s fine!

If you do last 20 minutes though you’ll be hooked.

You will almost immediately feel the benefits. It’s like a wave of positivity throughout your body.

Headspace is a great app for first time meditators but I would suggest using Insight timer to get the full 20 minutes in.

Don’t worry about screwing up; you’re going to.

Have fun with it. Don’t worry about anything in that moment.
