Meditation + plus a mini update

Welcome back to the blog everyone! Today is a message straight from iz, with a little podcast update, and her experience with meditation. Make sure to like this post, and comment below if you have ever tried meditation! Let's get right into it--->

hey loves:)) i hope you have all been having a beautiful day so far. i just want to let you all know that I haven't been feeling my best lately which is why I haven't uploaded an episode in a while, but im planning on recording and posting a brand new one within the next week:) anyways i thought for now i might as well write a blog post so there can be a way i can communicate with you guys. so anyways todays topic is going to be a short, sweet one and its going to be about meditation and what the benefits of practicing it are. before i say anything, i know it sounds like such a basic, annoying, pointless fucking topic, but I promise it’ll help with a lot of things in life. so first, there are a lot of different forms of meditation: some people go on a walk as their meditation, others sit down in silence for ten minutes, others drive around for a bit(there are a handful of other ways to practice meditation as well, those are just the ones i can think of right now:)). For me, when I try to meditate, i really try to focus on centering myself. I usually meditate by sitting in my bed, sometimes I’ll play some music, or I’ll just sit there for around five minutes and just try to put myself at ease and call my mind. However, most of the time what happens is i try to meditate when I’m feeling really overwhelmed, really anxious etc. but what ends up happening is I’ll spend four out of the five minutes just having trouble sitting still because I’m so overwhelmed and don’t think I have time to think about anything other than what I cant stop thinking about/the thing thats making me feel overwhelmed in the first place. but usually what i try to remeber at the end is that at least I got that one minute of just peace and flood of calm energy- which is better than nothing:)) also it’s important to recognize that it’s not easy to meditate, it takes lots and lots of practice, but once you get into it, it’s really calming and it’s a great way to step out of this crazy, big, complicated world and just focus on centering yourself and being at ease.

anyways I guess the reason im writing about this topic specifically is because I know meditating has helped me a lot and even though it can be really difficult to do(especially to do consistently),when I carve out time in my day to practice, I always always feel a whole lot better. Meditation has also really come in handy for me during these last few weeks, as its helped me try to bring whatever peace there is to my life, which has helped me feel better and healthier overall. so I hope you give it a shot(remember it’s not going to be easy at first:) but I really hope you try, get in a routine with it, and find little slots throughout your day to just focus on yourself even it’s for if it’s only for a minute. however long it may be, I promise it’ll make you feel better than before you tried it:)) but anyways that was my tip for today and I know its a really annoying tip and all the basic, fucking annoying ass people always recommend it, but i wanted to let yall know because it works for me and I just wanted to share it with you guys -even though you probably already knew...(I just thought I could give you one extra reminder to try it;))anyways, I hope you take some time this week to focus on yourself and your well being because its really fucking important. and how about we make this week our fucking week, lets kick some ass and get shit done. i love you all, have a beautiful day!

xx Iz
