This week I decided to try to meditate. I’m not sure if it works how it was supposed to, but when I failed to do it right I just ended up alone with my thoughts. Normally, there is so much going on around me that I don’t have the time to be alone with my thoughts. I felt relaxed and began thinking more deeply about the things that are going on in my life. When it was over, I felt like I was waking up from a deep sleep. I may not have had any life changing revelations in this experience, but it was really nice to have a time to think and I think that it motivated me as It gave me the time to think about my life, what I wanted, and what goals I wanted to set for myself. I realized that I wanted to start paying more attention to my health because I find this harder to do at school and it made me decide to clean up my room so I felt more put together. Overall, even though I might not have done meditation correctly, I think that this experience was helpful for my overall mental health and happiness in the stressful environment we have on campus.
