How to Fit Easy Meditation Into Your Daily Life

Because human beings are busier than ever before, you may find it difficult to squeeze meditation into your daily life. It is easier than you may believe.

The following tips will ensure that you have ample time every day to calm your mind, focus on the “now”, and reap the many rewards of meditation.

Look For Holes

The busiest people have 10 and 15 minute spare time gaps in their days. You do too. Start looking at your regular routine. Find one or more consistently recurring period(s) of free time. Use this time to meditate and give yourself a mental reset.

Forget About the Traditional Meditation Experience

You don’t need to be sitting on the floor in the lotus position, your room filled with incense and chanting. Meditation can happen in the drive-through, while you are doing the laundry, or when you are sitting in the parking lot waiting to pick up the kids from school.

Is it possible to meditate while driving?

Meditate Immediately Before Going to Bed

If you are like most people, you fill the hours before bedtime with time-killing behavior. Spend at least 15 minutes meditating, right before you turn out your lights and lay your head on your pillow. You can also meditate immediately upon rising, helping your mind and body wake up refreshed and energized.

Break Out Your Day Planner

When you prioritize something, you have a much better chance of accomplishing it. Add regular, daily meditation sessions to your physical or online scheduler. The human brain loves to-do lists, and when meditation is on yours, it is approached as just one other important activity.

Combine It With Exercise

Do you walk the dog every day? Do you want to work, or a friend’s house often? Do you enjoy jogging, cycling swimming or some other form of physical movement? If so, combine your meditation with exercise. Meditating does not always mean having to close your eyes and block out all other distractions.

Enjoy “2 Breath” Meditation All Day Long

Before you make a phone call, answer your email, start your car or perform any other simple task, take 2 deep breaths. Close your eyes if you can, and make your breaths mindful. Breathe in deeply, hold your breath, then exhale slowly. If you own a FitBit, use the Relax setting to get the most out of your breathing time.

  1. I really enjoyed this post. Meditation is one of those things that I KNOW will add so much to my life, yet somehow I just never seem to get around to doing it!

  2. Love this! I used to think meditation meant sitting in a quiet place for long periods trying to empty my mind. I totally agree with all of your tips and once you understand that you can benefit from short bursts life really changes.

  3. Because I spend 3 hours on a daily commute, I often use some of that time to meditate. Turn off the radio, close the windows and give thanks for my many blessings.

  4. I love when I meditate, but have trouble scheduling it in. This was just what I needed. Thank you.
