Meditation Is the Antidote to Your Crazy Life, Here's How to Start

Starting your day off with your meditation practice is your best bet since it helps set the tone for your entire day. "Starting your day calm and centered will have positive effects throughout the day as opposed to starting your day in a hurry and stressed out," Axelrod says. "With that said, meditating in the morning doesn't work for everyone and it is sometimes easier to carve out time to meditate before bed." Do what's best for your schedule and lifestyle instead of forcing a time that just doesn't work. "Once you develop a consistent practice and start experiencing the incredible benefits of meditation, you may ultimately decide you can find time in the morning," adds Axelrod.
