Summary

In these ‘Moment’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO. This is a favourite moment of mine because its so obviously clear that we should all be taking time for ourselves when we never do. This is a moment from my episode with Jay Shetty, the best-selling author of Think Like a Monk, host of the No. 1 podcast On Purpose and one of the most wise people I have ever met. Very few people can reach into depths of insight on such a wide array of topics like he does. I learnt so many things I didn't even realise I needed to know from this conversation, and I know you will too - this being one of them. Meditation. A difficult one to get on board with. We always hear that we must meditate more, but we never really practice it. Why? Because it's too woo-woo, or time wasting. Well here, Jay explains how much meditation can add value to our lives. All we have to do is put a time in our schedule that is time for us. Even if it’s 5 minutes a day, when we get that notification, we have to do something with it. The second step of meditation and taking time for ourselves is focusing on our breath. It's wildly underestimated yet it's one of the most important aspects of the human body. Our breath is connected to every single emotion, physicality and mentality.Meditation and breath are the practical tools we all need in our daily lives.

0:06.5	to work this morning and I see a lot of people in their van's driving listening to the
0:09.7	podcast, what would you say is a really good just a first step to investigate for themselves
0:16.4	subjectively if meditation can add value to their life?
0:20.7	Where would they start?
0:21.7	Yeah, I would say that the first thing you want to do is put something in your schedule
0:27.2	in your calendar, which is time for you.
0:30.0	If you look at your schedule, you would never cancel an important meeting with someone
0:33.8	else, but we don't even schedule one with ourselves.
0:37.0	There is nothing in the calendar that's time with myself, time for me, time for you, time
