Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

When I first got there, literally the first minute I walked in, I took a quick tour and my main monk, like my Grand Puba, brother Christopher said to me tomorrow, we're going to start at 7.15 a.m.

with prayer, reflection, and meditation.

And I was like, great, it's 6.05 PM.

What do I do for the next 13 hours?

And he looked at me dead in the eye and he said, you think.

And I was sitting in the room the size of this desk basically.

I said, okay, I'm going to try to meditate.

I'm not a big meditator.

My form of meditation has been running.

So I set my timer for 20 minutes and I'm like,

let me try to focus on my mantra, and I'm going through my routine and I'm like let me try to focus on my mantra and I'm going through my routine and I'm getting bombarded with thoughts and time is going by and I'm like

Why isn't my timer beeped? You know, I've been at this. So I'm like well, maybe I didn't set it. Let me reset it. I'm like well maybe I didn't set it let me reset it I'm like no I don't want to cheat

It's gonna happen any minute so I go back into my mantra and back into my mantra and after it felt like forever

I'm like I didn't and start the timer so I go to

reset my timer and I looked down three minutes and 27 seconds and I'm like whoa I am

that distracted that I can't even like sit quietly for three minutes, like I'm that

overwhelmed and distracted. And I realize that like I'm here for 15 days.

What am I going to do? I realized, you know, when I came home everybody asked me

what I missed the most but nobody asked me what I didn't miss.

And I realized that a lot of things that I didn't miss

filled up my calendar during March Madness.
