Some people simply just aren't a good fit for a traditional practice (particularly those with unresolved trauma). There are some alternatives that would work better.

• Coloring. Those adult coloring books you see around actually have solid science behind them.
• Drumming or playing a similar musical instrument.
• Cloud gazing or spending time with nature.
• Writing in the morning, whatever comes to your mind.
• Mindful walking. Benefits of mindful walking include stress reduction and improved cognition.
