Meditation!

Meditation is the medication for the mind and soul…For beginners, check out this nice article on quieting the mind: Meditation for Beginners …

Start your day with Meditation…You might ask..”But, Meditation seems to be under a controlled environment…What about the rest of my day? …It seems to be not be in my control…distractions, traffic, climate….”…phew… I agree it is a definite issue that modern life endowed Humans with!!!… all that stimuli, are beyond an individual’s control. With my limited experience at meditating, I can tell you that it provides one single handle to face all external triggers: Focus; Focus on the task at hand;

For  example, say coming into the morning,  you have 3 tough things to do for the day, you might try the following:
1)      Pick one among the 3 tough things to do as the first thing for the day (equivalent of deciding to start the day with meditation!) …this step is important …your mind can easily fool yourself to push this tough task to later in the day
2)      Set aside the next 15 minutes for this one thing only …suggest using nowdothis to track this one activity
3)      Immerse yourself in this task…just focus on the task (equivalent of focusing on your breathe & breathe alone during meditation)
4)      After 15 minutes, Relax and take a pause…reflect on the past 15 minutes…It is pretty important not to rush off into the next stuff which is a definite source of stress


Try meditation and application  of meditation to daily work through the above 4 steps…It is definitely tough..but doable....If you can create a habit of it, you will have a feel of bountiful energy through the day…irrespective of the environment!

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
