How to Start a Meditation Practice (Even If You Think You Can’t Meditate)
You’ve probably heard it a hundred times — “You should try meditation.”
It’s supposed to make you calmer, happier, more focused, and less stressed… but if you’ve ever tried to meditate and found your mind racing faster than ever, you’re not alone.
The truth is, most people don’t find meditation easy at first.
But that’s not because you’re doing it wrong — it’s because your nervous system has forgotten how to rest.
At Destination Happiness Studio, meditation isn’t about stopping your thoughts.
It’s about creating moments of stillness so your mind and body can finally catch up with each other.
🌿 Why Meditation Works
Neuroscientist Sara Lazar from Harvard University discovered that regular meditation can actually change the structure of your brain.
Her research found that meditation increases grey matter in areas linked to emotional regulation, learning, and memory — and even reduces the size of the amygdala, the part of your brain responsible for stress and anxiety.
Translation?
Meditation literally helps you worry less, think clearer, and feel more content.
It’s one of the simplest and most powerful tools you can give yourself.
💫 The Easy Way to Begin
If sitting cross-legged in silence feels impossible — start small.
Here’s a simple, three-step method to ease in gently:
Start with 2 minutes.
Set a timer. Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Take slow breaths in and out through your nose. That’s it.Use your senses.
If your mind wanders, notice a sound, a smell, or the feeling of your breath on your skin. Each time you notice, you’re training your brain to come back to the present.Finish with gratitude.
When the timer ends, whisper a quiet “thank you” — to yourself, to your breath, to this tiny pocket of peace you just created.
That’s meditation. Simple. Easy. Convenient.
🌸 What Happens Next
You’ll begin to notice small shifts:
You pause before reacting.
You breathe more deeply without thinking about it.
The world feels a little softer around the edges.
Meditation is a slow unfolding — like learning to float. At first, your mind resists, then suddenly, you find yourself being held by something much greater than thought.
