As we go about our daily hustle and bustle, our mental well-being may sometimes take a backseat. Not anymore, it is time to prioritise your mental well-being and bring your wellness journey to the next level – say hello to StepUp’s latest meditation feature!

Here is your essential guide on everything you need to know about meditation with StepUp.

Mindfulness Meditation

As you embark on this meditation journey, it is important to start with the basics. Here at StepUp, we will be focusing on Mindfulness meditation – the most common type of meditation that focuses on breath, an object of awareness that is with us all the time!

One of the most common misconceptions about meditation is the extended amount of time to set aside. Fret not! StepUp has made meditation fuss-free and on-the-go. Plus, you can practise it anytime, anywhere!

How does it work

1. Grab your phone and find a comfortable spot for your meditation session. And, if you are in public, plug in your earphones to reduce disturbance during your meditation.
2. On StepUp’s home screen, click on the button at the top-left corner to switch to the meditation mode, and tap on "Meditate with me".
3. Select your desired meditation duration (2 minutes, 5 minutes or 8 minutes).
4. Take a deep breath and begin your guided meditation.

Steppie's pro-tip!

Of course, as StepUp is committed to making your wellness journey rewarding, we definitely cannot miss out on rewarding you with StepUp points!

You will be rewarded with 20 points per day when you complete at least 2 minutes of meditation in a day. Let us build a habit to meditate daily, so we can all begin to reap the long-term benefits of meditation.

Kick-start this habit-building journey with a simple 2 minutes meditation session daily, and slowly increase the duration when you are ready for more. Consistent effort is what really matters.

It’s time to put what you learn to practice. Head back to your dashboard to try out StepUp’s latest meditation feature, and let’s embark on this meditation journey together!
