Mindfulness can take many different forms, and meditation is just one way to practice it. There are countless resources and approaches available, so we've included a few options of varying lengths and styles as a place to start.
A gentle reminder: these practices aren't for everyone, and you don't have to force something that doesn't feel helpful. If something doesn't resonate, feel free to move on. It's also okay to set formal meditation aside altogether. Mindfulness can be practiced in many different ways.
