Meditate To A Better Life

Today, I want to share a habit with you that will improve all areas of your life and well-being.

That habit is Meditation

For starters, meditation is about being fully in the present moment. It has nothing to do with religion or a religious ritual.

What it means is you are just being aware of what is happening right here right now and not thinking about things you need to do, what has happened in the past or what is going to happen.

Sounds simple ? Try to empty your mind and not think about anything for 1 minute. Did you see thoughts floating into your mind ?

Meditation is recognizing that your mind is like the sky and your thoughts are the clouds. Let the clouds pass by but don't follow through. Just be aware that the clouds are passing through. Don't feel bad if you get caught up in a thought, just be aware and go back to the original state.

I first came across Meditation in a youtube video. I got curious and started to practice it for 20 minutes a day. In just a few days, I feel my mind getting clearer and I could focus better. I also could recognize when I start to have an emotional reaction like anger and how I could detach myself from it instead of being angry in the heat of the moment.

After a while, I was not consistent on this habit but I am getting back to it again because I know it can really benefit the body, mind and soul.

Here are some benefits that have resulted from meditation :

1. Improve learning ability and to improve information. Reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

2. Reduces bad emotions like stress, depression and anxiety. Helps you to master your emotions.

3. Helps in overcoming bad habits

4. Concentrate and focus better. Therefore, helping to improving your productivity and creativity.

5. Improves physical health.

6. Improves happiness. Makes you content with the present moment without the need for external stimulation.

Freedom From Fear - Choices Before The New Generation

Freedom From Fear - Choices Before The New Generation By Babatunde Raji Fashola We are now in the realm and reality of constant expectations of miracles and divine intervention. Superstitions have taken over reason and logic. When we pass examinations, win football matches, conduct successful elections, or achieve any feat, we seem all too frightened and unsure of ourselves to take credit for even the most modest of successes attributable to our efforts. Instead the first thing you hear is God did it. Regrettably, we have surrendered our capacities and abilities in a frightful way to FEAR, that we have become victims of some confidence tricksters who deceive, dis-entitle and prey on our fears and frailties in ‘God's’ name. Every man and woman of substance now has a Mullah, Pastor, Imam, Alfa, Spiritualist or even a witch doctor or Dibia who is responsible for telling them what to do, when to do it, in a way that diminishes his abilities...

Your Thoughts Are Powerful

They're powerful forces of energy which shape and create your life. Thoughts which are played in your mind repeatedly become beliefs. Beliefs are picked up by your subconscious mind, which then connects with the universe to create your life based on what you think and believe. Your life is really a mirror of what you think and believe. Negative thoughts need to be removed because they'll eventually destroy your life and make you feel like nothing will ever work out. When you have a mind filled negative thoughts you feel miserable, inadequate and you'll experience failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed. Negative thinking forces you to make the wrong choices or poor decisions. When that happens you'll end up in bad relationships and you'll struggle with money. ...
