Turns out I need to relax more. At first, I thought this meant days poolside however I have no pool and it turns out a day of doing nothing only brings on more stress for some of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I need, so suggested the doc, is to relax a little every day and practice not getting stressed about minor things in the first place. What I need, she prescribed, is to focus on my breath, for five minutes, five times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What becomes clear in the first minute is it isn’t that easy (yet) and it’s near impossible if you are uncomfortable because discomfort trumps breath when it comes to focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is why they have a cushion just for meditation: right size, right height, right firmness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And hey, some aren’t that expensive but…why can’t I make my own? (You know, it’s all about reducing my stress so I’m going to make it into a project, that I film \ud83d\ude09 )(This is becoming enlightening)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But yes, you can make your own meditation cushion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy, almost super easy and it’s quick. It doesn’t require much fabric and you could use scraps to piece the pieces or a different fabric for each piece. The hardest and most expensive part is the stuffing. Whatever you choose to stuff your cushion with you’ll need a lot of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
