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.

How To Overpower Procrastination!

How To Overpower Procrastination What Is Procrastination? The act or habit of deferring or delaying something that requires immediate attention is known as procrastination. "Putting off till tomorrow what might be done now!" is what it is all about. Many people fall into the procrastination trap. According to Piers Steel, a researcher and speaker, 95 percent of people procrastinate in some way. While knowing you're not alone can be reassuring, realizing how much it might limit you can be sobering. Is Procrastination Synonymous With Laziness? Procrastination is frequently confused with laziness, although the two are not the same. Procrastination is a deliberate action in which you choose to do something other than the task you know you should be performing. Laziness, on the other hand, connotes apathy, passivity, and a refusal to perform. Procrastination usually entails putting off a less pleasurable but perhaps more crucial duty in favo...

Mando And His World

Mando And His World As a child, Mando believed that he would make a difference in his world. Something in him used to tell him that he did not belong to the world he was presently in. Mando's world was that of lack and deprivation. His family was poor, utterly poor and Mando was the 8th of 10 Children that his Parents had. His Father was a subsistent farmer and his Mother a petty trader. They could barely afford 2 meals in a day. Because of the many mouths to feed, both Parents sometimes went hungry just to ensure that their children had something to eat. Clothing was a different kettle of fish, Mando and his siblings barely had clothes and went bare-bodied most of the time. Sandals and silpas were a luxury, but they got used to moving around bare feet even on thorny surfaces. Being a farmer, Mando's Father would leave the house very early in the morning and come back late in the evening. Sometimes, his wife would cook and then send the food with one of...

The Reason Why Most People Fail

How To Develop Effortless Self-Discipline When most people talk about self-discipline, they do so with a bored look in the eyes and a monotonous voice. They’ve got a point - Self-discipline is NOT sexy. But while it isn’t the sexiest skill, it sure is powerful. Just look at the Chinese. China has been around since long before the time of Jesus, and long before many other societies began and crumbled and yet... it’s still growing. That’s what prompted Napoleon Bonaparte, the famous French General, to say of China: “Let her sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world.” The benefits of self-discipline are clear. If you had superhuman self-discipline, you could easily do whatever it is you need to be successful - no question, right? Imagine waking up each day and sticking to your schedule PERFECTLY, even getting more done than you planned, and racing towards your goals in record time? THAT’S what self-discipline gives ...
