Some people like to meditate holding them or with them in their laps, while others like to keep them by their bedside or even in their bags/pockets.

It just means you need to find a balance that works for you.

4. Try Healthy Supplements

Tell yourself how your body is healing. Feel positive feelings as you say it.

You’re not ‘kidding’ yourself, you’re simply working on a new mindset and a new story. Eventually, this should rewire your brain and make a huge difference in your life.
