Be Compassionate and Try “I Am” Statements
You cannot practice mindful meditation if you are harsh on yourself. Compassion is imperative if you want to enjoy the mental health [5] benefits of meditation. According to experts, you can eradicate the feeling of being unworthy, insufficient, and separate if you show compassion to yourself or others.
True unconditional compassion [6] does not depend on how straight you sit, how well you perform, or how long you hold your pose. You can reduce or stop the rigidity of right and wrong if you grow a sense of compassion.
The primary aim of meditation is to help you strive for high feats and be a better version of yourself. According to experts, “I am” statements help you focus on the present, which is the whole point of meditation.
Experts recommend the following phrases:
- I am exactly where I need to be in life
- I am open to change
- I am perfect just as I am
- I am safe in my body
