You can't meditate while staring at a clock to check the time, so set an alarm from your phone or computer. Ideally, you should set the timer for 5 minutes to be enough for complete meditation. But the exact amount of time really depends on you, so it doesn't matter if you meditate for 30 seconds or 5 minutes if you think this is the right time.

If you can sit or lie on the floor It doesn't matter where you choose to perform these gestures. Just as long as the place is convenient enough for your 5 minute meditation. If you're going to sit, you'll sit cross-legged on the floor. You can also sit in a chair with your feet firmly in contact with the ground.
3. Explore gestures
We all know that sitting with your back bent is not good for your health, so before you start meditating. Take a moment to examine your posture and what position you are in. if you are sitting Try to sit with your back as straight as possible. Relax (without straining) your shoulders, neck, and jaw, and then use your mind to explore the rest of your body. that there are areas that are tense or tight
4. What do you do with your eyes?
While meditating, you can close your eyes or open your eyes. If in a private area You might want to close your eyes to be as calm as possible. But if you sit in a busy office You may want to keep your eyes open to avoid misunderstanding that you are sleepy and asleep. If you open your eyes to meditate Find a focal point in front of you about 3 feet away. Focus on it throughout your meditation. (You can stare at any point on the computer. if it allows you to meditate without anyone noticing) because whether you close your eyes or open your eyes The emphasis is on adhering to separate meditations.
5. Focus on your breath.
When starting a meditation timer Try to focus on breathing. without trying to change the breathing pattern that makes it feel unnatural Keep an eye on every breath going in and out. How are you feeling? Shallow breath? Or do you feel that your breathing is irregular? then You will have a consistent way of breathing in and out deeply. And is it natural?
6. Pay attention to your own interests.
The most important part of the 5 minute meditation is yourself! Especially “your thoughts” while you are concentrating on your breath. Your mind will feel the gap in your thoughts. All the emotional turmoil will try to fill that gap, so if you feel you're stuck in a thought. To draw attention back to the breath. It doesn't matter how many times you lose focus. (But you can do it with practice) every time you lose focus. Just go back and focus on the breathing in and out again. until the stopwatch beeps.
