Summary

To live your most optimized life, prioritizing meditation for at least ten minutes a day is essential. Countless people come to me saying “meditating is impossible” and I understand it’s a difficult practice, but I believe people make it much more difficult than it needs to be. In the episode of the Align Podcast, I break down three common mistakes you’re probably making when meditating that are preventing you from growing your practice. I truly believe, when these mistakes are addressed, meditation will not only become more tolerable, it will become extremely enjoyable. I also share three of my all-time favorite mindful quotes, and explain what each one means to me and how it relates to a mindfulness practice. Need help getting started with mediation? I share a simple meditation with you in this YouTube video. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
