Note To Self // Stop, Breathe, Meditate


   If you’re a regular reader on this little blog you’ve probably noticed the lack of posts coming up in the last few weeks, due to exam season just around the corner, a lot of my time has been taken up with past papers, note taking and all that jazz. Tying in with that ( check out that smooth transition! ) my last post was all about ‘powering through’ and focusing on getting all this revision done however I know how easy it is to get a bit too caught up in all this preparation for the future, whether that may consist of looming exams or something else perhaps a little more exciting. 
  During these busy next few weeks I think it’s super important to know where to stop.. for times when I'm feeling those stressy ‘can I just jump on a plane and never have to worry again’ vibes I love to grab my phone and tune in to this app called Omvana that you can download for free off the app store. I’ve tried a few of these kinda apps before but this seems to be the best one so far. With this snazzy little app you can chose to download free tracks or buy some from the store, I love how you can ‘mix tracks’ together by overlaying a guided mediation session to some clingyclangy chilled out sounds.
  I usually do this in the afternoon or evening, alone in my room and make sure to turn my phone onto ‘do not disturb’ before starting. This act of separating myself from any people or pressures helps so much in staying focused and calm, I physically feel so much more grounded and any nervous energy will have gone. 
  Whether meditation is something you’ve tried and love or maybe it’s just not for you, I think the right idea is there; stepping away from your everyday life can only do you the world of good, maybe just not for too long!
