The most important thing about meditation

Are you a list-maker? 

I’ve got something for you that you can put on the list in your mind. (Because I know you’ve got a few lists going there, too!)

Good news! It’s just ONE thing!

I want you to know the 1 single thing that’s absolutely required to realize the benefits of meditation:

You have to do it.

All the knowledge in the world isn’t enough to reap the rewards of meditation. Here’s what you don’t get if you don’t actually meditate:

• Less stress, more internal peace and a calmer mind. Meditation dissolves stress from your nervous system that’s been building up over your lifetime. It’s like brushing your teeth. All that plaque that would be on your teeth if you didn’t brush every day? EW! Meditation gets rid of accumulated stress.
  
• Being more present and more productive. Meditation trains your brain to help you stay in the present moment which is great for you, especially if you tend to ruminate on the past or worry about the future. You can also focus better which helps you do one thing at a time instead of habitually multi-tasking.
  
• A new normal; living every day with purpose and joy. Meditation puts you in touch with your True Self; who you really are and what you really want. You stop waiting for “someday” and settling for less. You show up for life right now with confidence and more self-love so you can make a bigger impact in your family, workplace, community and the world.

So on those mornings you’d rather sleep-in than meditate, or when you’re tempted to read, read, and read some more about personal growth instead of practicing what will help you get there, remember this one thing:

Knowing about it won’t help you. Doing it will.

Do you need help getting started with meditation? Or making it a daily habit? 

Learn to meditate so you can stop trying to meditate.
