Summary

Meditation to focus your mind on what matters most in your life. You'll discover a breathing technique to reduce an addiction to distraction and to break your addiction to busyness. Do you rush around all day being busy but not getting much done? Or do you get a lot of little things done but those big goals that would move you forward in life seem to elude you? If you can relate to either of those scenarios then you may be addicted to busyness. This week's meditation series "Addicted to Busyness" is customized from "Are You Addicted To Doing?" by the authors Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter from the October 2015 issue of Mindful Magazine. One of the greatest benefits of meditation is that it gives you more clarity to help you become more productive in your life. Each episode in this week's meditation series will help you break the cycle of busyness that may be holding you back from achieving your true goals. This is part 3 of a 7-Part Meditation Series on Addicted To Busyness, Episodes 450-456. Every single episode will offer you a different meditation technique to become more productive in your life. As always, you don't have to do the meditation technique -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.

1:29.9	Hogard and Jacqueline Carter. And in this article, which was the inspiration for this
1:36.0	meditation series for this week, they call busyness, this kind of busyness we're exploring this week, as an advanced sort of laziness.

2:06.6	They say it's like climbing a ladder as fast as we can. Only once we reach the top, we realize
2:12.6	it's leaning against the wrong wall. So I have a little test for you. If you sit down to
2:22.7	accomplish a goal and then at some point you're distracted, you may be addicted to doing. Now,
2:31.8	we can all become distracted when we're working on a goal, but if you sit down to
2:38.1	really focus on your goal and you cave into this distraction, you may truly be addicted to doing.
