7 Tips for Practicing Meditation When You Struggle to Focus
Meditation is often thought of as simply sitting and thinking of nothing. However, there’s actually no wrong or right way to meditate. In fact, achieving true “nothingness” in the mind is really, really difficult, with people who have years of meditation under their belt unable to achieve this state.

One Positive Action
Encouragement Note
Sometimes the smallest gestures carry the most weight. A kind word at the right time can shift someone's entire day, and you don't have to know exactly what they're going through for it to matter. A simple reminder that they're seen, valued, or doing better than they think can plant hope in ways you might never fully realize.
That's where leaving an encouragement note becomes such a meaningful practice. Write something genuine on a sticky note and leave it somewhere someone will find it. Slip it onto a coworker's desk, tuck it in a book at the library, or stick it on the bathroom mirror at home. It doesn't even need to be signed. Sometimes the mystery makes it more meaningful.
For the person who finds your note, it becomes an unexpected spark of encouragement, a moment of connection in what could be an ordinary or difficult day. For you, it serves as a reminder of how much good you can create with very little effort. Acts like these shift your focus outward, lift your mood, and prove that kindness multiplies when shared.
Grab a sticky note and write a short, uplifting message. Place it somewhere someone will stumble across it, then walk away knowing you just left behind a little piece of light. You may never see the impact, but that's part of what makes it beautiful.
