Have you ever considered meditating? Having a healthy mind is just as important as having a healthy body. If you struggle to obtain peace of mind, have trouble focusing, or battle with things like rage, stress, and anxiety, meditation may be the solution. Some studies even suggest that meditation can reduce chronic pain, increase breathing efficiency and lung capacity, and develop recognition of compulsive behaviors. Chances are you could benefit from meditation. It certainly won’t hurt you, so why not give it a shot?
Of course, most people are quick to say that they don’t have time to meditate. Other people believe it’s too complicated. If you don’t feel like you have the time, or just plain don’t know where to start, check out Victor Davich’s 8 Minute Meditation Method. It’s not too tough to wake up eight minutes earlier each morning or go to bed eight minutes later each night considering the benefits that meditation may provide. If you think that meditation is too complicated, it may be due to your inability to concentrate for extended periods of time. ***BONUS*** You have to start somewhere, and the more you meditate the easier focusing becomes. You just have to promise yourself to stick with it.
The bottom line is that there are so many things that would seem easier to us if we had consistent mind control. Going to the gym, cleaning the house, and dealing with our children on a sugar high would not seem half as bad if we were able to experience a feeling of peace within our minds each day. To know that peace of mind exists is a comforting feeling. To have control over our own peace of mind is euphoric. Find out for yourself, but don’t try it until you’re ready to commit. It’s easy to give up, so get it in your head that you’re going to stick with it no matter what it takes. Commit to at least a month of daily meditation and experience the difference a healthy mind brings to your seemingly hectic life.
