Meditate Every Day

Meditate every day because it improves your wellbeing and your mind by helping you to become more relaxed, focused, and aware of all the unnecessary thoughts in your head, which can make you happier and more relaxed and focused on each day you meditate.

What

  • Sit down and breathe slowly and deeply for some amount of minutes at least once a day
  • Attempt to clear your mind of thoughts and focus on one thing, such as your breathing
  • Pay attention to your breath, body, surroundings, or close your eyes to focus on one thing
  • Don't worry if thoughts creep into your mind, just try to let them go, breathe, and focus
  • You can also try saying a mantra like "I'm grateful for today. I'm hopeful for the future."
  • After meditating, you may also spend time focusing on a single project, goal, or dream

Why

  • Breathing deeply may provide oxygen to the brain which is key for our brain functioning
  • Relaxing our mind may make it process new connections, which may occur when we sleep
  • It may help us become more focused, improve our concentration, and get things done
  • It may help us become more relaxed, improve our happiness, and feel naturally calmer
  • It may help us process our thoughts, be more creative, and improve our critical thinking
  • It may help us slow down and recognize that the thoughts in our head are not our reality
