Just making the decision to learn how to meditate can be beneficial even if you only spend a few minutes a day. Before you really start to lose yourself in meditation, it’s still helping you by turning your attention away from daily pressures and allowing you be at peace in your own mind for a while. While it’s important to practice meditation every day if you’re ever going to truly master this skill, even 5 minutes of meditation throughout the day is better than doing nothing at all. That’s one of the reasons that meditation is such a powerful tool. It works even if using for short periods of time to help keep the pressures of life at bay.
