Self-compassion meditation. I know, I know. You suck at meditation. I will give you a little tip: We all do. We are all restless, distracted, chattering messes. Give yourself a break. This is part of the human condition. Instead of beating yourself up over it, find a little meditation practice that works with you as opposed to against you. For myself, guided meditation helps me to get into a state of a calm mind. Check out the developing self-compassion meditation from the magnificent Tara Brach for a little assistance with reaping the benefits of a practice. The biggest benefit of a regular meditation practice for me is being able to notice earlier when my brain is going places that are not beneficial to me and those around me.
