The Beginners Guide to Meditation

Beginner’s Guide to Meditation for a busy entrepreneur who wants to stay grounded, focused, and in good spirits without it feeling like “just another task.”

1. Start Small 5 Minutes Is Enough

• Don’t aim for perfection just sit quietly for 5 minutes with your eyes closed.

• Focus on your breathing, or use a simple guided meditation app (like Calm or Headspace).

• Why it works: Short sessions done consistently are more effective than long, infrequent ones.

2. Tie It to a Habit You Already Have

• Stack meditation onto something you already do, like:

  • Right after your morning coffee

  • After finishing your workout

  • Before starting work or closing your laptop

• Why it works: Habit-stacking makes meditation automatic and easier to sustain.

3. Don’t Judge the Practice Just Show Up

• Your mind will wander—that’s normal.

• The goal isn’t to stop thoughts, but to notice them and come back to your breath.

• Why it works: Consistent practice, not “perfect meditation,” is what brings long-term calm and clarity.
