oooh – the local yoga studio is holding a meditation class for Solstice!! I’m so there.
How to meditiate for at least 5 minutes, 3 times a week
It made me
calmer and centered 
"it's so hard, so often, to silence that internal dialogue, but even if it won't shut up completely, it is so worth while to just ignore it for a few minutes!"
How I did it: I have had to force myself to find time: take five minutes when I'd rather just crawl into bed, mute the tv during a commercial break and close my eyes, hide out in the bathroom for a few minutes.
Taking my reiki class has helped too - it's one more incentive to incorporate a little meditation almost every day.
I had always thought to "properly" meditate, I'd be committing half an hour or an hour at a time, but five minutes can make enough difference.

This shouldn’t be a difficult proposal. Really. I have the ability. I just have to recognize the time that’s available to me when it’s actually available – not at the end of the day when I look back and realise that I could have taken five minutes after I folded laundry or even during a commercial break!
