YouTube
If you are new to the world of meditation, YouTube is the easiest way to start.

Headspace and Calm are both great apps for beginners and pros alike. These apps can help you set reminders, have nighttime meditation and have resources to answer additional questions.
Meditation = A Better Day
Life can seem impossible to take five to ten minutes out of your day to meditate but it is possible! Instead of waking up and immediately looking at social media, open YouTube or one of the apps and begin! This is a super great way to add it into your routine—especially if you get to stay in bed. Set an alarm on your phone after you wake up, meditate and eat a healthy breakfast. Need some healthy breakfast ideas? Check out our previous article here for some ideas!
