Goals for Meditation

I have to admit, meditation is something new to me that I never considered doing. I am usually pretty good at taking my stress and using it for me instead of against me. Prayer is one way that i cope with stress because sometimes talking to family and friends isn't helpful, so I rely on the one who created me to assist me in my journey. I also thought that by meditating, I was converting to some other religion or becoming something I never wanted to be but that is the complete opposite of what it truly is. My goals for the next few weeks of meditating are that I hope to be more open minded about the idea of coming to calm and not that I have to give myself up to some other power, but to simply train myself to focus my mind and body. That's it. No strings attached. I simply am focusing my mind and conditioning myself to be okay with my brain, my thoughts and myself in the pure quietness of everything!
