 -Saksham bhugra

Yoga like Hatha asana(poses) are a great way to stretch your body as well as relax your mind.

Suryanamaskara is a very old yoga that is equal to do 20 pushups, 1-minute plank, and 5minutes of meditation.

Meditation is the method to make your mind relax and be at the present neither thinking of the wrong things that happened in the past or what could be wrong in future, but it means to be at present

So if you sit at one place and start to sense the things and feel the things with all your senses open towards the things happening around you like just sit at the chair and feel the wind blowing, the sounds that are coming, the smell you get in the air and don't react to it just feel it.

It is also a type of meditation and trusts me it is a very good way and practical way to make your mind to think in the present and see the real world around you instead of living in the regret of the doings of past or be always negative by thinking what could go wrong with you.
