MEDITATE

A couple of pages ago, I talked about how moving at 100mph is the new normal. I talked about not being so serious so often. Something that you can do to help bring you back to a more normal pace.

MEDITATE! Meditate EVERYDAY!

Not sure how to meditate. Try the following:

1. Set some time aside for yourself.
2. Set no less than 30 minutes aside.
3. Set the TV to OFF.
4. Set the cell phone to OFF.
5. Set the PC/Laptop/iPad to OFF.
6. Set the rest of humans in your life to OFF.
7. Find a comfortable place to sit.
8. Make certain that you have as much silence as possible.

Now you are ready to begin. First, concentrate on your breathing and get it into a rhythm that is both deep and calming. Then start to consciously relax your body from your head down to your neck to your arms, hands then down you back and front. Continue down your legs all the way to the tips of your toes. Now that you are relaxed, begin to clear your mind.

Empty your mind of all your worries, fears, doubts, joys, and everything else that accompanies your day-to-day life. This may be difficult at first, you may want to throw in the towel and call this meditation “mumbo jumbo” a lot of nonsense but don’t give up. It will get easier as you go along.

Work at clearing your mind and before you know it you will start to revel in the fact that during that time you will be clear-headed and stress and anxiety will start to leave your life. You will feel better even after just one time. Imagine how much better you will feel when Meditation becomes a habit.

DO YOU HAVE A HOBBY?

Do you have a hobby? Yes, then you already know how relaxing having a hobby can be. If you don’t have one then it’s about time you got one. Coin Collecting, Table Tennis, Fishing, Skydiving, Hiking, Stamp Collecting, or Collecting Smurfs, well then as my good friend Gary Vaynerchuk once said, “THEN SMURF IT UP!”

Find one hobby that you like. Pick it. Stick to it. Do it Regularly. Relax. De-Stress!!!

DON’T BE SO SERIOUS

When we go around living at 100mph we tend to overlook the little things. We are moving way too fast to stop and smell the roses. If you like driving fast and always worrying about the impending crash then it is time to slow down.

Being serious all the time creates unnecessary stress. Stress, in general, complicates things. Unnecessary stress really complicates things. To minimize stress, especially unnecessary stress, you must do what you can to stop taking life so seriously!

Of course, life is serious but it is how we deal with the big things, as well as, the little things that make all the difference. Laughing at the little things is easy. Not letting EVERYTHING get to you is not so easy.

That’s why you need to take everything at face value. The big stuff is just that; the big stuff. The small stuff is the small stuff. Learn from both, good or bad, you have to take every opportunity to learn from everything that happens; good or bad, large or small.

Always learn from everything that happens and try not to repeat what you did, should things go wrong, again. Rest assured things will go wrong, again.

Lastly, try to do a lot of the good stuff, the stuff you like, and do that stuff all the time. Doing the stuff you like will certainly go a long way towards not always being so serious.
