I thought meditation was some weirdo-hippie-yoga-granola-crunchy-LA thang
(and maybe it is)
but it WORKS.
And the latest neuroscience research PROVES that meditation techniques have beneficial effects on both your mind AND body.
If you feel stressed… have insomnia… if your mind spins and spins…
If you’re overwhelmed with worry… or there’s a roadblock… SOMETHING holding you back from a goal or dream or happiness (but you’re not sure what it is).
You need to meditate :)
and become what I call a “Totaltarian”
Today’s reductionist society breeds disconnect.
We try to zoom in on one little thing -- like “superfoods” or pre-workout shakes or ab crunches -- rather than see the BIG totaltarian picture.
We need to stop slicing and shoving different parts of ourselves and our lives into different boxes and thinking about them like they are somehow not connected.
Meditation brings you back to your true self. RECONNECT.
Daily practice (only 10 minutes!) has five valuable results:
- ELIMINATES stress and anxiety. While stress may return to your life, it’s more manageable and you avoid the dreaded “when it rains it pours” effect.
- ELIMINATES insomnia -- this alone is worth the effort for me. Drift off to sleep easily and sleep soundly.
- FOSTERS creativity, positive emotion, clearer thinking, intuition, and the ability to multitask. Some of the most successful people (like Oprah and Steve Jobs) have used meditation.
- INCREASES self-control, social connection, memory, and your ability to regulate your emotions.
- IMPROVES health. Meditation can lower blood pressure, decrease pain, and strengthen your immune system -- even change the cellular biology of aging!
I can promise from my own experience that meditation will create positive changes in your life!
I’ve blogged prolifically about my long battle with depression, anxiety, and OCD, as well as my past struggles with hating my job and feeling just… unhappy… without knowing what would make me happy or feel better…
Meditation has been a huge part of my map to self-discovery (and recovery).
Meditation helps you reconnect with yourself and what you need to thrive.
Meditation enabled me to regain control over my mind so I could decide how to act, feel, or engage -- rather than just REACT.
Think of meditation as a flashlight into YOUR consciousness.
Now I know meditation can feel strange and foreign (at least, it did for me).
