The Power of Meditation And end procrastination

The Power of Meditation

The Power of Meditation

Another trick is to practice meditation. Meditation is nothing

mystical, it is all about focusing the mind and taking control of

your attention. When you meditate, you practice clearing the mind

of distracting thoughts and focusing on nothing. This is literally a

way to train your salience network just as you might train your

muscles in the gym and it can build great focus and discipline.

What’s more, is that meditation teaches you to detach from those

distracting stressors and to let go of things that might be playing

on your mind.

Meditation can provide perhaps the biggest upgrade to your

wellbeing, productivity and focus – so it is something that

everyone should be doing.

The only problem? Meditation is hard to take up if you have low

motivation! My tip then is to start out with just small 5 minute

sessions and to try tacking this onto a habit that is already a part

of your routine. If you regularly work out, then try meditating after

your gym sessions. Or how about tacking meditation on after

each tooth-brushing session?

And if you struggle to know what you’re doing while you’re

meditating, consider using an app like Headspace

End Procrastination

Procrastination is one of your biggest obstacles to achieving what

you want to achieve. So many of us have things we want to
accomplish that we never manage to fulfil. Too often, this is
mainly down to a lack of concentrated, strategic effort.
So, we maybe blame time. We might claim that we would love to
start our own business/improve our home/write a novel/get in
shape/actually clean the kitchen… but we just don’t have the time
because we are so busy with work and with looking after our
family.
This is simply untrue.
24 hours (16 of which are spent awake) might not sound like that
much, but it should be more than enough to accomplish all you
hope to.
After all, didn’t you watch a whole boxset of your favorite TV show
only last month?
Didn’t you complete the latest Call of Duty game?
Didn’t you spend over an hour watching TV or browsing Facebook
most evenings last week?

If you were to have spent all that time in a way that was useful
and productive, then of course you would have accomplished
your goals. And probably much much more. Heck, you would
probably speak five languages right now!
Part of the problem comes down to procrastination. But really this
is a result of some much bigger issues: those being energy and
discipline. In this guide, you’re going to learn to solve all of those
problems.
