Mindfulness: Do’s And Don’ts
- Daily meditation: Having a daily meditation practice, be it mindfulness, a mental body scan or even chanting is crucial.
- Away from the bed: If you are unable to sleep, try to change your place, as the bed has to be associated with sleep.
- Sleep apps don’t work: Sleep apps are not to be relied on for sleeping, and one should cultivate our own body to be able to sleep without any aid like sleep apps or even sleeping pills.
- Don’t try too hard: Sleeping is an effortless effort, and your mind and body has to be conducive for it to happen. Forced sleep is the primary mistake many insomniacs make. Sleep happens on it’s own if you allow it.
