How to Meditate with a Busy Mind

from Thrive with Nicole · host Nicole Ivens

"I Just Can't Meditate" - Every New MeditatorHave you ever said “I just can’t meditate, my mind won’t stop”?Don’t worry I’ve got your back, so many of my clients have said this to me, when I set them homework of meditating every day. The look of fear on their face is priceless, like I have asked them to give me their first born child. Don’t worry I will never ask for your first born child, I have two teenagers and my hands are already full, with as much teenage attitude as I can take. You lay down, close your eyes and all of a sudden your mind is racing with thoughts like:I haven’t done the washing…the ironing piling up on the back of the couch,Hang on a second, did I leave the stove on, oh no it’s okay I haven’t cooked dinner yet…Oh man I really should be cooking dinner, instead of lying here trying to meditate,Geez I am so bad at this meditating thing, I can’t even stop thinking.  Sound familiar?In this episode:My personal experience with traditional meditationSomething you do that you may not realise is meditationMy shift from trying to stop your thoughts to meditateA quick exercise / homeworkInsight AppGrounding You MeditationI trust this serves you!Angel Blessings,NicoleGet in touch!
