154 | How I Went From HATING Meditation To Becoming Its Biggest Fan


Listen Later

Practicing meditation can enhance a person's mental and physical well-being in many ways. Research suggests that meditation can help ease anxiety, improve sleep quality, reduce negative emotions, and increase imagination, creativity, patience, and tolerance.


There is also evidence that states people who meditate are more likely to be able to avoid destructive habits. 


Today, I am flying solo to take a look back at that one moment in my life that made me a believer of meditation and its many benefits.


In this episode, I will talk about how I went from disliking the practice of meditation to realizing its positive effects on my life. I will also discuss the effects of meditation on my mental health, decision-making, emotional reactions, and awareness of myself and others. 


Topics include:

  • How meditation helps ease my anxiety
  • What I learned from practicing 100 days of meditation
  • Awareness as one of the benefits of meditation
  • What does “game of inches” mean in life and business
  • How meditation benefits your mental health and decision-making
  • And other topics…
