Stress Less, Accomplish More with Meditation

Published: April 30, 2019, 8 a.m.

Do you often feel overwhelmed? Tired? Stressed out? Can't sleep? Do you wish you could have more energy without slamming 5 cups a coffee per day? Then this episode is for you. We’re going deep into meditation. But here's the thing... most people who struggle with meditation don't have the right information. Meditation shouldn't be hard! If you've struggled with meditation in the past, or can't seem to make it a habit, don't miss this episode. Meditation is a form of rest for our bodies that you can't get through sleep. And without it, chances are your brain can be working against you much of the time. Your body accumulates boat loads of stress throughout your lifetime (yes, your body may still be holding onto stress from as far back as childhood!), and if you don't have a way to release it, it can lead to disease, overwhelm, aging faster (eeek!) and the potential to snap at any moment. Today we’re bringing on Emily Fletcher, the founder of Ziva Meditation and the leading expert in meditation for extraordinary performance. Emily has managed to make meditation fun, easy and accessible. In part because she says most of the meditation we are used to was designed for monks dedicating their lives to zen stillness, not regular people doing regular shit all day. Today we will learn a simple but effective meditation practice that you can do anytime, anywhere, without an app to guide you. Today we will learn: How meditation changes our brains How stress from even 20 years ago can still live in your body Why meditation is 5X more restful than sleep The powerful trifecta of meditation, mindfulness and manifesting Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/076 Sign Up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily reminders of how freaking powerful and magical you are, straight to your inbox!
