I have been meditating consistently now for about 10 weeks and it is AMAZING! 😃
I always knew the benefits but I haven’t always kept up a consistent practise. Like most humans, I can find myself waiting until things get really unbearable before I make positive changes in my life. I wait until the shit hits the fan.
AND THAT SHIT DEFINITELY HIT 💩
A while ago I was filled with stress, anxiety and confusion practically every day for a good few weeks. It was all consuming.
I didn’t know what I was doing with my work, what direction to go in, finances were a huge worry and overall I felt so gross. 😨
I knew that this was not good for the mind or body. It’s an incredibly unhealthy way to live.👎 I couldn’t stand feeling that way every day. I couldn’t stand not being able to sleep at night, which made me feel worse in the day. Round and round it went. Not a merri-go-round, more of a worry-go-round! 😜
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – TIME TO MEDITATE 🙏
I started with a nightly meditation, I now do a morning one too. Of course there’s been a few days here and there where I didn’t do it, or I fell asleep during it or just didn’t focus fully. But in most cases, it was great.
I use various guided meditations as I struggle to just sit in silence (at least for now). I use hypnosis style ones, visualisations and ones that guide you into silence. I like to mix it up. I’m always trying new stuff as well as keeping some solid favourites. What a blessing to be alive at the same time as YOUTUBE! God send. Amazing.😍
SO WHAT HAPPENED? 🤔
Well I didn’t make a million quid overnight! 😝So some stresses are still there – BUT, I deal with them much better. 😊 I haven’t felt the same level of anxiety since.
I am more inspired, more positive, calmer and more faithful in life. My mind is much happier to be present rather than stress about the future. 😌
I’ve got MUCH more clarity on the direction of my work and have attracted some amazing people into my life who are helping me along my way. 🙏Things are flowing. I’m getting stuff done rather than pissing about in my misery! I'm also starting to feel more confident in myself. Sure, I have some down days, but nothing like the downward spiral I was in a few months back.
Overall I FEEL GOOD! ❤️
And ultimately that’s what it’s about. If you feel crap, you think crap, you act crap and you get crap results! This isn’t rocket science. 🚀
WHY DON’T YOU TRY IT? 😘
If there’s something you’re wanting – to overcome anxiety, get clarity, peace, calm, success, happiness or more positivity and self-esteem – just YouTube it. Look for the guided meditations. I tend to go with the ones that have most views/ ratings/ subscriptions. Or, if you want to sit in silence then just do that. 👌
Start with something short if you’re lacking in time or think you can’t do longer. There’s even a one minute meditation! Whatever you want, it’s there. USE IT! EVERY DAY! 😃
Let me know how it goes. 😘
Yes, meditation is a good practice comparable to praying. It has physiological results, reduces stress, anxiety, body inflammation, improves the immune system, etc...
