New Focus

This year. I’ve determined, is my year to work on being my best self. That means a lot of different things to me. More exercise. Blogging more regularly. Doing what makes me happy. Having fewer regrets. Being of the best mindset that I can.

That’s what I want to talk about today. My brain is a super energetic place. My thoughts are always bouncing around. There are to do lists in my head. There are things I want to do on the blog and pieces of stories and books I want to read and a million other things. I don’t have a quiet mind. I have a loud noisy mind that’s always going. But sometimes one just needs some peace and quiet.

At school some of the teachers I work with use a mindful meditation app with their students. I was certainly skeptical when I first learned this, I’ve never been big on meditation. Remember, I have the noisy brain. But after I experienced using the app a couple of times I came to really love it. It helped me to quiet my brain and focus on being in the moment.

So I downloaded the app for myself (StopBreatheThink) for those of you who are wondering, and I’ve used it every day since February 1. Most of the time I use it right before I go to bed which is nice. It’s a good way to end my day, and it helps to quiet my brain at a time when it tends to get really noisy.

I don’t believe that meditation is for everyone, and the type of meditation that works for me might not work for you. If you haven’t tried meditation, try this app. It’s free. It’s been a great thing in my life. I’d love to hear what your experience with it is.
