EP 297: The 4 Most Common Meditation Myths... BUSTED
b'
When I tell someone that I help people reduce stress and reactivity, almost everyone says: \\u201cI NEED THAT!!!\\u201d
\\nThis is no surprise, given that over 77% of American adults experience chronic, daily stress, and that most people understand the damage chronic stress causes one\\u2019s health and happiness.
\\nBut when I go on to say that I accomplish stress reduction through mindfulness and meditation practices, I hear all kinds of reasons it won\\u2019t work for them.
\\n\\u201cI have too many thoughts.\\u201d
\\n\\u201cI can\\u2019t sit in that position.\\u201d
\\n\\u201cIt seems too hard and too time consuming for me.\\u201d
\\n\\u201cIt will make me too relaxed and passive and I won\\u2019t get things done.\\u201d
\\nThese are the four most common myths I hear and in today\\u2019s episode of The Mindful Manager Podcast, I knock them all down.
\\nIf you have a reason that\\u2019s keeping you from the amazing benefits of meditation that I haven\\u2019t listed here, let me know what it is.
