I've realised this is something I drastically need to implement into my life. I've had minor successes with meditation in the past but it never really sticks. I'm not great at sitting still and I also have back issues so struggle to sit up straight for long periods.

So I'm wondering if you do any mindfulness practices, what has worked for you?

My preferred method is yoga (often Yoga with Adriene on YouTube), then meditate in corpse pose. Sometimes I'll do a guided yoga nidra meditation on YouTube. Taking a leisurely walk through the park or woods while taking care to notice the surroundings is also nice.

I like Yoga and Pilates for mindfulness, you really do have to pay attention to how you move.
