Introducing Tomas Jajesnica, aka Mr Meditate.
After finding out that the legal profession became #1 most depressed in 2012, Tomas had an epiphany to launch Mr Meditate to help improve mental health and performance in the workplace.
Having taught and presented to over 60,000 professionals in offices, conferences and off-sites, he discovered that employees experience these 3 common traits - busyness, over-thinking and sleep deprivation.

In today's conversation, we discuss the power of meditation and its impact on mental health, well-being, and increased performance at work.
Tomas shares his personal journey of discovering meditation and how it transformed his life. We discuss the societal pressure to chase external success and the importance of finding fulfilment from within.
At the end of our conversation, Tomas provides practical tips for getting started with meditation and how just 10 minutes, 3 times a week can show dramatic changes.

Key Takeaways:
Meditation is a powerful tool for improving mental health and well-being.
Finding fulfilment from within is more important than chasing external success.
Checking in with ourselves and cultivating a present-moment mindset is crucial for personal growth and happiness.
Settling the mind through meditation allows for clarity, spaciousness, and new ideas.
Developing a meditation habit can start with just 10 minutes, three times a week.
Functional breathing, with the belly expanding on the in-breath, promotes grounding and reduces anxiety.
Triggering the relaxation response before sleep can improve sleep quality and rejuvenation.
