Start Today With A Morning Meditation (yes, Even Busy Brain Babes Can Do It)

Start today with a morning meditation (yes, even busy brain babes can do it)

A woman in a light sports outfit practices yoga on a pebbly beach, sitting in a twist pose as if following a meditation guide, with calm blue water and large mountains in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

Sometimes, the morning can be the *hardest* part of the day to deal with—especially when your alarm clock is ringing before the sun even comes up. The solution? We recommend a morning meditation session to help usher you into your early day. Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered.

Step 1: Find a quiet area

A smiling woman stands on a porch, stretching her arms up as if beginning a morning meditation. She wears a yellow graphic T-shirt, striped shorts, and flip-flops. The white porch with gray flooring overlooks houses in the background.

Search your house for a quiet, calm area that you can meditate in. Whether it’s your bedroom, the backyard or a small, private corner, make sure that you feel relaxed when there.

Step 2: Take a deep breath

A woman in light blue athletic wear stands barefoot on black rocks by the ocean, stretching with arms raised overhead under a blue sky—capturing the calm focus of a morning meditation. Waves roll gently in the background.

Breathe in, hold for 10-20 seconds and then release for five seconds. Repeat this pattern after you fully exhale.

Step 3: Imagine a calm setting

A woman in a yellow dress walks barefoot on grass, holding a basket of pink eggs, enjoying morning mindfulness in a wide, open field with trees and a clear blue sky in the background.

When taking your deep breaths, ensure that you are thinking about a happy, relaxing place. This can be the beach, the forest or even just your favorite reading spot.

By thinking about a calm place, your body will naturally become more relaxed. This will help keep your breaths steady and even to fully get in the zone.

Step 4: Set a timer

A silver alarm clock is placed at the center of a background split vertically into pastel pink on the left and pastel blue on the right, evoking calm—a perfect setting for a morning meditation or meditation guide. The clock shows 10:09.

Set a timer for 10 minutes and repeat these steps until the timer is done. After, make sure to eat a healthy breakfast so you can feel as physically amazing as you do mentally.
