'''Example''': Write down your reasons for starting meditation. Perhaps you want to manage anxiety better, improve your sleep, or simply find more moments of peace in your day.

'''2. Set Personal Goals''': Define what you hope to achieve through meditation. These goals can be short-term or long-term and should be realistic and attainable.

'''Example''': Set a goal to meditate for 5 minutes every day for the next week. As you become more comfortable, you can gradually increase the duration of your sessions.

'''3. Reflect on Your Progress''': Regularly reflect on how your meditation practice is impacting your life. This can help you stay motivated and make any necessary adjustments.

'''Example''': At the end of each week, spend a few minutes reflecting on how you felt before and after your meditation sessions. Note any changes in your mood, stress levels, or overall well-being.
