My favorite new trick isn’t exactly meditation, but it feels meditation adjacent. After getting out of bed feeling way less, shall we say, loose than I’d like to lately, I’ve started to literally shake it off. Maybe you’ve seen it in your social feeds too. Soft knees, and just bounce up and down letting everything jiggle, for about a minute.
Yes, the jiggling is jarring, and a minute is longer than you would think, but it’s one of those things that creates singular focus, and that’s hard to come by these days. And I feel better afterwards, I really do.
I’m told I could feel even better if I started the day with some cold water wild swimming or a cold plunge, or an icy shower but for now I’ll just shake instead of shiver.
