If your mind wanders
- That's normal. Notice it kindly and bring your attention back to your breath.
- Start with 3–5 minutes a day; a short daily habit beats a long session now and then.
- Meditation can help with everyday stress. If you're struggling with anxiety or low mood, please talk to a professional too.
