Summary
How do you find a state of calm on a stressful, chaotic day?
Peace and quiet are rare commodities in a busy world filled with stress, conflict, and distraction. If you don’t take the time to reset your body and mind, this can quickly lead to a state of overwhelm and burnout. But how do hit pause to reinstall a sense of calm, harmony, and balance?
On today’s episode, I’m excited to bring you some powerful meditation techniques that not only help you relax and recover in just a few minutes, but can change your brain, and eventually, your life. Along with nuggets of wisdom from previous episodes with meditation experts, I’m going to give you actionable steps for making meditation a daily practice.
Your brain wasn’t designed to run full throttle 24 hours a day. But a peaceful mind isn’t something you have, it’s something you do. Just like there’s a process to focus, there’s a process for calm. If you’re looking for tools to create a healthy and positive state of mind no matter how busy or demanding your day might be, this episode is for you.
