Lindsay Lohan needs meditation

Lindsay Lohan relaxes with meditation.

The 28-year-old actress finds it  »hard » to shut herself off and relax but is slowly learning ways to calm down and retreat from her hectic life.

She said:  »I have some meditations so I tend to do those quite a lot.

 »Music is always something that calms me too. At the moment I really love ‘Sunday (Klangtherapeuten Remix)’ by Max Manie.

 »I do Deepak Chopra’s 21-day Meditation. It’s the most personal thing I can think of that I have for myself. Just being able to shut off.

 »It’s a hard process, but I’ve been practicing it for a while now and it does work. »

The ‘Mean Girls’ star – who has been to rehab six times – has reevaluated her life and always tries to do her best, and will take measures to be  »selfish » if she feels she is heading down the wrong path.

She told Britain’s Marie Claire magazine:  »Every day I think, ‘What’s more important? What makes me happy? When do I feel my best? When do I feel I’m giving my best? Am I making other people happy? How can I make other people happy?’

 »They are the general guidelines I try to live by. You know, it sounds selfish but you do have to put yourself first.

 »There are certain jobs where you don’t have to show up and put a face on but you do in the industry I work in. So it’s about stepping back and recognizing if things do start slipping a little bit, how to get back to the same part of life and just being OK with being alone. »
