Skinny Snow Flake: Your Weekly Winter Waist Watcher, Vol.3: Om - Y - God

A friend's twitter prompted me to put this out there.  The M word; the scary one that seems to be so simple, yet most of us struggle with it quite a bit: 

Meditation.

My advice is keep it simple.  There is no right way to do it, as long as you do it. Especially at the start.  Here are a few simple tips for the beginner meditation mastering one out there:

1) There is no wright way or wrong way.  Only a way that gets done. Commit to a daily check-in. If you fall off track, the next time you remember, you get back on track :) 

2) Do not aim for perfection. Aim for practice.  Drop the idea of 20, 30, 45 minutes of solid, daily meditation, at lest 1-2 times daily.  Start slow and steady. Settle into staying present for just a minute, or five first thing in the morning. Whatever you can handle, and are comfortable with.  Work on this and progress from here

3) You can stay present in silence, or use a guided meditation already pre-made. There are some great ones here. Do explore options, see which works) Commit, and stay consistent.  

If you fall off track, the next time you remember, you get back on track :) 

Enjoy!
