I'm here to help you change your life, and trust me, I'm going to tell you that it's going to take some serious effort. So here's my challenge to you today.
Before I ask you to do this, I want you to keep an open mind. Take on a meditation practice. Really, take it on.
Give me a minute to explain to you why this is so important in your life. Lend me your ears as they would say.
Nothing will be "gained" from taking on a meditation practice. Absolutely nothing. In fact, instead of calling it meditation, let's just call it a sitting practice.
Every single day, for at least 10 minutes a day (set a timer on your phone) sit on the floor with your legs crossed, close your eyes and focus only on your breath. I don't want you to get guided by tapes, sounds, or anything else. Just your breath.
Breath away and sit there quietly.
Now let me explain what I'm really up to here.
When you sit down and focus on being in the present moment, all of the fear, doubt, worry, anxiety and anything else negative effecting your life currently begins to melt out of you. You experience a "falling away" of things instead of trying to always add something new to your life. You begin to sit in a world of simplicity instead of a world of complication.
When the thoughts and emotions fly into your head, let them. Don't get mad at them or try to get rid of them. Just focus on coming back to your breath instead of getting wrapped up in the uncontrollable.
Mediation is about learning how to come back. That's all. It's about coming back over and over and over again no matter how many times your mind gets distracted. You keep coming back to the only moment you have, the present moment.
Really give this practice a good try. And with any practice we engage in to nourish and heal ourselves, we experience a constant falling in and a falling out of it. We miss a couple of days but then we recommit back to what we know nourishes us and take it back on again.
Always come back to your practices.
