The One morning Habit That Changed My Life
Habits? What is one great habit you can share that has changed your life?
Habits can be good and habits can be not so productive.... I want to share with you all about one habit that really did a lot of changes for me in my own life, especially with losing weight, having a much better sleep and learning to let go of control and stressful situations which I thought would not be possible for me being an A type personality lol
Comment below and tell me one habit that has changed your life for the better and why?
Meditation can have a very positive effect on our attitude towards life and may even help improve the overall quality of our life. I take time every morning to quiet my mind and prepare for the day. It soothes my nerves and helps stave off the stress that inevitably tries to creep in. Less stress often means more positive feelings in general. I have found that meditation has helped my physical health as well; since practicing regular meditation, I have experienced less illness and more energy. Meditation may help lower blood pressure, improve blood circulation, regulate the heart and respiratory rates, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote better overall wellbeing. There is a variety of meditating techniques. Concentration meditation focuses on a single point while mindful meditation is intended to control wandering thoughts.
Here are a few pointers so that you, too, can reap the benefits of regular meditation:
1. Choose a Suitable Time
Meditation is intended to be a time of relaxation, so try to choose a time that is convenient for you and won’t be interrupted. I have found that morning is the best time for me, before the craziness of the day gets in my way.
2. Find a Peaceful Place
Your meditation area should be peaceful and quiet to allow you to concentrate.
3. Sit in a Comfortable Posture
Your posture makes a huge difference, so make sure it is proper yet comfortable. Sit straight with your spine erect and legs crossed, keeping shoulders and neck relaxed and your eyes closed throughout your session.
4. Meditate on an Empty Stomach
The best time to meditate is before meals because digestion can make you drowsy; you don't want to fall asleep during your meditation! However, make sure you are not starving, either; a hungry stomach can be a huge distraction.
5. Start with a Warm-Up Session and Deep Breathing
Warm up exercises will help you achieve better results. Try some small stretches, brief, 30-second concentration periods, or light a candle or incense, just something to help prepare your mind for focus. Deep breathing is a great way to start. Take full, deep breaths. Strive for mindfulness, really concentrating on each breath as it enters and leaves your body.
