Me Time!

OK, I get it. I have been trying to make an effort to meditate. I have tried at least 10 minutes a day. In the morning, night and in Hot Pilates class. I wasn't really getting into it. I was not able to surrender my thoughts. I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
I had a realization reading an awakening quote. Meditation for me is about visiting yourself. Taking the time to be your true self. Without, criticism, negative thoughts, to do lists or distractions of the outside world. It's about being comfortable enough to let all the static noise in your brain go. Taking the time to sit and be as your authentic self. I am not a doctor, but I have experienced what stress can do to the body. Perhaps meditation gives your body a mini vacation. Maybe allowing it to heal within the visit with yourself. I also think we generate the constant thoughts during the day to maybe escape or drown out how we are feeling that particular day. So now I have a new outlook, I see the meditation as a visitation session with myself. I see it as a time to heal. Tapping into what my inner voice and what it wants to tell me. Getting to know the true me. Take the time to listen and heal. With all the static noise in the world and brain, how else will you listen?
