Would you like to possess the ability to give undivided attention on a particular task, goal, or pursuit until its completion? If your answer is "yes", then listen closely.
Distinguishing being overloaded with too much to do is manageable. Being overwhelmed has an emotional component to it that can lead to burnout, depression and anxiety. See the signs and learn the difference.
Meditation is a practice of mindfulness and concentration that can allow you to gain important insights about yourself and the world around you. For those looking to better understand themselves and experience self-discovery, meditation can help you calm your mind and better evaluate your life. However, meditation alone will not grant you personal insights. By regularly meditating and living a more thoughtful life, you may be able to better understand who you are and what you are capable of.

Meditation is a topic that many people don’t fully understand and that has a lot of mixed views surrounding it. Some people view meditation as an almost ‘occult’ practice focussed on achieving a state above that of normal people and transcending onto another ‘plane’ of existence. Other people see it as being a great therapeutic technique for healing, and others still don’t give it much thought and write it off as a waste of time.
Meditation certainly isn’t a waste of time, and nor is it necessarily spiritual or magical. It is a very different thing to different people. There is not really one form of meditation but rather a several and each has different goals and purposes.
What meditation has in common across the board though, is that it is extremely useful, very powerful, and one of the best tools for clearing your mind and for feeling better about yourself. This is a fantastic way to approach any problem with a fresh mind, and without the usual hang-ups, biases, and issues that prevent us from performing our best, living in the moment, or truly expressing ourselves.
Meditation can be used to help you achieve a kind of “mind reset” both in the short term, and in the long term.
Meditation looks different for different people, but one thing is for sure: it is quickly gaining popularity in Western culture. It has many professional and personal benefits including increased productivity, reduction of stress and depression, and reduction of troubling physical symptoms such as headaches and muscle tension, to name a few.
An introduction to mindfulness meditation practices as understood and practiced by a clinical psychologist with experience in the Zen tradition. Superb photographs are primarily by a friend, Dr. Dean Ducas.
When we meditate, we inject far-reaching and long-lasting benefits into our lives: We lower our stress levels, we get to know our pain, we connect better, we improve our focus, and we're kinder to ourselves. Let us walk you through the basics in our new mindful guide on how to meditate.

the month.”

“Research also shows that, in addition to slowing you down, multitasking lowers your IQ. A
study at the University of London found that participants who multitasked during cognitive
tasks experienced IQ score declines that were similar to what they'd expect if they had smoked
marijuana or stayed up all night. IQ drops of 15 points for multitasking men lowered their
scores to the average range of an 8-year-old child.”
Opposed to Mindfulness, multi-tasking damages
your brain, lowers your IQ and your EQ

17. “Ultimately, I realized that while happiness is a choice, it is not just an individual choice,
it is an interconnected one. This is because when you choose to act with gratitude or
joy, you make joy and gratitude easier for others, who in turn give you more reasons to
be grateful and joyous.“ Shawn Achor
Shawn describes a virtuous cycle, “a positive feedback loop where by making others
better leads to more resources, energy, and experiences that make you better, fueling
the cycle again. Thus, making others better takes your success to the next level.“ Shawn
Achor
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not
to utter words, but to live by them.” John F. Kennedy
“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what
you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." Oprah Winfrey
“Your success, your well being, and your performance are all connected to that of the
people around you.” Shawn Achor
