Brush Your Teeth Meditation

If you are a parent, stop measuring success in meditation by being able to do longer sessions.

It’s overwhelming, unrealistic, and defeats the purpose. 

Let’s face it: 

Between work, meetings, and chauffeuring kids to and from camps, who really has 30 minutes to spare each day?

Plus, the pressure to create the “perfect” meditation space—complete with candles, soothing music, and a spotless room—only adds to the stress.

So, it’s no surprise that meditation often feels like an unreachable goal.

Here’s what might happen:

✔ You skip sessions…

✔You quit altogether…

✔You feel like a failure…

The result?

👉 More stress. Less relaxation. Endless frustration.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Meditation should:

🍏 Be easy to start.

🍏 Take just a little time and effort.

🍏 Blend smoothly into your daily life.

I call this a ‘Tender' approach to meditation. 

Think it's unrealistic? 

Try my “Brush Your Teeth Meditation”:

1. Brush your teeth as usual.

2. Sit down on the bathroom floor.

3. Set a timer for 1 minute.

4. Practice the Square Breath or Box Technique:

 - Inhale for 4 counts.

 - Hold your breath for 4 counts.

 - Exhale for 4 counts.

 - Hold your breath at the bottom for 4 counts.

5. Celebrate with a self-affirmation: “Thank you, dear me, for taking the time to meditate.”

This simple practice, done daily, trains your nervous system to stay calm even on a busy workday. 

It builds a habit and makes longer sessions easier as you get more comfortable.

Remember,

One well-thought-out 1-minute tender meditation every day beats a 20-minute drawn-out session once a week.
