I participated in a 30-day meditation challenge. Here are some things that I learned about myself: Having a calm mind allows me to be more present, deal with problems, and understand my emotions more easily. Being able to control my mind and thoughts allowed me to focus on listening to my body and my own needs. I can make time for the things I care about and find important. Showing up a little every day even when I’m not at 100% can be more important than waiting to try things until I am. (It’s more important to show up as you are than only show up when you feel your best.)
