Chantale Elliott Counselling

Please tell me I’m not the only one who can’t meditate. My husband Chris is a master meditator. Every morning at 5:15 AM he wakes up and the first thing he do...es is meditate for 25 minutes. He hasn’t skipped a morning in over 4 years. I used to make myself wrong because everybody and their mother is recommending that you have a meditation practice. When I discovered that there are more ways to meditate than just sitting still with your eyes closed, it was a game changer for me. I practice moving meditation. I use these 4 grounding techniques to pull myself and my mind back into the present moment throughout the day. One of my favorite strategies is spiritual grounding. I carry a heart shaped rock with me and it makes me feel connected to something larger. Whenever I go for walks in the woods, I’ll look for heart shaped objects like leaves, stones, or puddles, as a way to focus my mind on the present moment. Give me a in the comments if you’re like me and also have trouble meditating but are going to try one of these grounding techniques today.

Do you take on things that you don't need to? Even I often need to remind myself what is within my responsibility and not.
