You might think that the daily routine of meditation is just for fun or to relieve stress, but it has a variety of health benefits to improve your quality of life.
According to a publication by the Mayo Clinic, meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health.
Meditation helps to clear away the information overload that has built up every day due to stress and anxiety.
Meditation might also be useful if you have medical conditions.
Other benefits of meditating include increasing self-awareness, focusing on the present, increasing imagination and creativity and improving sleep quality.
A study by the National Library of Medicine 2015 shows that meditation increases blood flow in the brain and improves memory.
The study describes meditation as an exercise that results in the expansion of consciousness beyond the day-to-day experience.
Psychologist and researcher at Stanford University, B.J Fogg says constantly failing to do something because you don’t enjoy, is more detrimental to your motivation than doing nothing at all.
He recommends starting with “tiny habits” to help build confidence that will lead us to success.
By making meditation a habit in your routine, you will experience a change in your health and mental well-being.
If you constantly say that you are always too busy, too tired, or I simply don't know where to start, meditation starts as a small tiny habit.
Finding a time slot for meditation in your schedule might be after waking up, before work, during lunch break and before bed will go a long way to help you adapt to meditating.
