I found away to do meditation one minute at a time. It's not that you do not have patience, you body is still telling you that you are in fight or flight mode. Start with 1 minute and tell yourself you have done well to start. When you feel ready try for 1 minute 30 seconds or 2 minutes. Again tell yourself you are doing well. There is no judgement. I find if I put myself in a quiet room I do better. Somedays it just a minute, other days it's 20 minutes and I might even fall asleep. You are enough.

This is great advice. I also like a slow silent walking meditation. Take a breath with each step. More fun outside but fine inside. Try starting with 3 minutes. I actually used to do this at work when I went to get a hot drink. "You are enough" is just the best--thanks for encouraging us all.

Thanks so much for this encouraging advice. You made my day and have given me a new goal for the New Year!
