I'm not here to do anything but help you change your life. It's not going to be easy. There are going to be some times where it's going to hurt. But if you stick with it you're going to change. So here's my challenge to you today.
Take on a meditation practice. Before you go, "Oh please that's hippie nonsense" I really would like for you to hear me out.
So lend me your ears for a minute (not literally - Robin Hood Men In Tights fans know that reference).
Nothing will be "gained" from taking on a meditation practice. Absolutely nothing. In fact, instead of calling it meditation, let's just call it a sitting practice.
I'm asking you to find a place every single day, for 10 minutes a day (set your timer), cross your legs, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. That's it. No guided meditations, no ohms, no sound, nothing.
Breath and continue breathing as much as possible.
Now let me explain what I'm really up to here.
When you sit down and focus on being in the present moment, all of the fear, doubt, worry, anxiety and anything else negative effecting your life currently begins to melt out of you. You experience a "falling away" of things instead of trying to always add something new to your life. You begin to sit in a world of simplicity instead of a world of complication.
If thoughts and emotions come in and distract you, don't get mad at yourself, simply come back to your breath. If you get all wrapped up in something or your internal critic is going off, don't get mad or anxious, just come back to your breath.
Meditation is really about learning how to come back to the present moment over and over again. Fundamentally speaking, the present moment is the only moment we have so we must learn how to arrive back into it.
So give this a shot. And like with any practice we engage in, we all find ourselves falling in and out of it. We miss a day or two...or three. But hey, you know exactly what to do.
Always come back to your practices.
