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

There truly is an app for everything, including dozens created to help you meditate. They come in handy, especially for those who might feel intimidated by the concept of meditating alone in a room by themselves. "Most of the meditation apps, like HeadSpace or Insight Timer, have meditations specifically designed for beginners so they are a great place to start," Axelrod says. However, she does recommend working up to the level of being able to meditate on your own without an app. "It's incredibly powerful to sit in silence with your breath and be present for whatever emotions and thoughts arise," she adds.
