Greetings Fellow Health Enthusiast,
Are you tired of feeling sick and tired? I know how that feels, so I wanted to share one of my go-to health tips for feeling better fast.
Even though I didn't know it at the time, I started meditating in my mid-twenties. If you had asked me what I was doing, I probably would have said I was taking a power nap.
Each day on my lunch break, I would close my eyes for 15 minutes and just let myself decompress. Not because I had heard amazing things about meditation or was influenced by a guru.
It was mostly because my daily stress levels were off the chart. I was a single parent, worked a full time job and attended Northeastern University at night. Trying to juggle an overloaded schedule triggered anxiety and panic attacks which were scary and showing up far too often in my life.
Stress is the leading cause of illness and disease. Let me repeat that: stress is the leading cause of illness and disease. Doesn't is make sense that we would expend a little energy to reduce our stress levels?
Reid Tracy, CEO of Hay House and employee of Hay House for over 27 years admits:
"So last year, I finally started to meditate 10 minutes a day. I began with concentrating on my breath and thinking, "How may I serve?" Which I learned from Wayne Dyer. I practiced clearing my mind and I soon became hooked because I felt much better almost every time I found/made the time to do my meditation. I felt more energy after I meditated as well as more calm and peaceful, especially during stressful situations at work and home with my family. It seems simple but the results are literally life-changing. And it’s just from making 10 minutes a day to clear your mind."
Being in a constant state of stimulation and busyness is breaking down our natural defenses to combat stress. Meditating doesn't have to be a big production. My brother does it on the train during his commute to work. You can do it too.
If you'd like to start your own meditation practice, here are a few ways to get started:
Peace of mind is a beautiful thing. It changes our whole perspective on life for the better. In addition to starting a meditation practice, you might also want to check out the new kid on the block, CBD Oil. It's another tool you can add to your toolbox for reducing stress.
