Meditation is something everyone can do to improve their mental and emotional health. All you need is a quite space where you won't be interrupted for the amount of time you want to meditate. You can do it sitting or if you feel more comfortable, you can do it lying down. You can start with 5 minutes a day and work your way up to increase it.
It helps promote self awareness, practice focused attention and concentration. It can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit your emotional well-being and your overall health.
Meditation is like learning a new skill, it takes practice as you become more comfortable with it and you can start implementing it as a part of your daily routine or a couple of times a week. As with any new skill, the more often you do it, the better you become. You can start first thing in the morning to kick off your day or before bedtime to help you relax.
