Meditation has become wildly popular in the past decade or so.

So popular, in fact, that\u2019s it\u2019s easy to write it off as another \u201cwoo woo\u201d fad, like water fasting, cupping therapy, or lectin-free diets.

It\u2019s not, though.

While the health benefits of meditation are often overblown, it\u2019s hard to argue with the subjective benefits it provides.

I don\u2019t have much personal experience with meditation, so I wanted to pick the brain of someone who does: Ben Pakulski.

Ben has been through intense highs and extreme lows in his life as a professional bodybuilder, and he\u2019s used meditation to help him grow from these experiences for over a decade.

So . . . if you\u2019re curious if carving out some time every day to meditate can actually improve your ability to cope with and benefit from life\u2019s many stressors, this episode is for you.
