This week I'm talking all about Meditation, the benefits of it, how to do it, my experiences with it. I can hands down say meditation is one of the most important tools that I’ve used to transform my life! 

• What is meditation? 
  • “Meditation isn’t about becoming a different person, a new person, or even a better person. It’s about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective. You’re not trying to turn off your thoughts or feelings. You’re learning to observe them without judgment. And eventually, you may start to better understand them as well.” https://www.headspace.com/meditation-101/what-is-meditation
