Positive thinking and meditation are two powerful tools that can help you achieve a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Meditation is a mindfulness practice that has been used for centuries to promote calmness and clarity of mind. When combined with the power of positive thinking, meditation can help you cultivate a more positive mindset and improve your overall well-being. 
To explain this in more detail, Mindful Well by Sitara Hewitt has prepared a list of five points to harness the power of mindfulness.

 

1. Set an intention
When setting an intention for your meditation practice, it's important to choose a positive and empowering statement that resonates with you. Some examples of positive affirmations include "I am worthy of love and respect," "I am capable of achieving my goals," and "I am at peace with myself and the world around me." By focusing on these positive thoughts and intentions during your meditation, you can cultivate a more positive mindset that can carry over into your daily life.

2. Practice mindful breathing
Mindful breathing is a technique that involves focusing on your breath and observing it without judgment. During your meditation practice, focus on your breath and try to observe it without changing it. As you breathe in, focus on the sensation of the air moving in and out of your nostrils. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath.


3. Visualize positive outcomes
Visualization is a technique that involves imagining positive outcomes for yourself. By visualizing yourself achieving your goals, you can increase your motivation and focus, as well as reduce stress and anxiety. During your meditation practice, take some time to imagine yourself accomplishing your goals, whether it's getting a promotion at work, running a marathon, or finishing a creative project. By visualizing these positive outcomes, you can increase your belief in yourself and your ability to achieve your goals.

4. Focus on the present moment
Mindfulness meditation involves focusing on the present moment without judgment. This means accepting your thoughts and emotions as they are, without trying to change them. When your mind starts to wander, gently bring your attention back to your breath or your body. By practicing mindfulness, you can reduce stress and anxiety, increase your sense of well-being, and improve your overall mental and emotional health.

5. Practice self-compassion
Self-compassion involves treating yourself with kindness, acceptance, and understanding. During your meditation practice, focus on cultivating a sense of self-compassion by recognizing your strengths and limitations, and treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend. By practicing self-compassion, you can reduce self-criticism, increase self-esteem, and improve your overall mental and emotional well-being.
