Monkey Mind
Meditation Challenge
#tamethemonkeymind in 21 days
Captain Obvious Here – We Are Living In Stressful Times.
You know that “all over the place” feeling you’re having? That’s stress. That’s uncertainty and overwhelm. And it’s consistent among everyone you meet right now.
We are all living in uncertainty and we don’t know what next week or next month will bring. And it’s very stressful for our brains.
While not a cure-all, meditation can help.
You’ve probably heard of the benefits of meditation…
but you feel like:
- You have no clue what to do when you sit down and close your eyes
- You want someone to guide you and help you start a meditation practice?
- You can’t fit meditation into your busy schedule?
- Meditation is only for people without stress or anxiety?
- You’re doing it wrong because your monkey mind wanders all over the place?
I totally get it. Starting a meditation practice can be intimidating and challenging. But I’m here to tell you that
You can tame your monkey mind and meditate.
All that’s required is that you sit and listen.
Most people have a really hard time sitting down and controlling their thoughts. It can seem like a million monkey’s are dancing around in your head trying to distract you. Guided meditations, like the ones in this challenge, calm down the monkey’s and ease you into stillness and focus by listening to an audio meditation and following along with the prompts. In just 21 days, you’ll be able to tame the monkeys in your mind and focus your thoughts while building your meditation confidence.
