20 Easy Ways to Meditate When You’re Short on Time
Even if you “can’t” meditate, you can absolutely do this
Meditation isn’t sitting in silence trying to not have any thoughts, it’s actually just focused attention. There are many different ways to meditate, even when you’re short on time. Here are 20 ways to sneak in a quick meditation when you’re busy but want to de-stress.
1. Listen to a song you can lose yourself in (but not while you’re driving, obvi).
We hypnotize ourselves all the time, even when we’re driving (highway hypnosis — it’s when you know you’re driving and you end up at your destination but you barely remember getting there or even the act of driving at all). Sometimes we get lost in music on the highway, but I’m not talking about that here.
When you’re short on time and want to sneak in a quick meditation, carve out a few minutes to be present and consciously sit down and listen to a piece of music that moves you. It can be any genre so long as you find it to be something you resonate with. Listen with your full being and just notice what you notice about the way your body feels.
