Feel like negative thoughts always pop up when you try to meditate? Maybe you can't focus? Today I chat with a friend, Tom Sullivan who is a qualified meditation teacher, speaker and author of A Still Mind, on all things Meditation, how to get cracking and what to do when you feel distracted!

He shares his story as to how he fell into meditation and how it has given him that 'something more' in life. From resistance, to negativity or mindfulness, meditation can be a useful tool to deal with these. We also chat about how you might be unconsciously training your mind to NOT FOCUS, cues for what to actually do (even if you only have 5 minutes) and why we shouldn't ignore negative thoughts.

You're going to love this episode, especially if you already have a meditation practice or looking to get cracking. Tag us on IG and share your biggest takeaways! You can find Tom @astillmind.
