Meditation attitude

Hey kiddo, do you know what meditation is? It's like taking a break for your mind, just like how you take a break from playing or doing other things.

Now, one important thing to remember while meditating is your attitude. It's like your mindset or intention for meditating.

Imagine that you have a huge shiny balloon in your hand. This balloon represents your attitude. If your attitude is good, the balloon will float high up into the sky. But if it's bad, the balloon will sink down to the ground.

So, when you meditate, it's important to have a positive attitude, like being peaceful, calm, and open-minded. This way, it will help you focus more, feel relaxed and you will get the most benefit of meditation.

However, if you have a negative attitude while meditating, like feeling angry or frustrated, your mind will wander and you won't be able to meditate properly. So, it's important to be aware of your attitude and try to keep it positive.

Remember, your attitude can affect how you feel and how well you can meditate. So, before you start meditating, try to clear your mind and approach with a positive attitude.
