Blog 17 of 30 ~ Effy Wild's Blogalong ~ Thirty Posts in Thirty Days
I took a meditation class back in 2001.
It was one of the best experiences of my life.
I learned more about myself and
developed a daily meditation habit.

And then, I fell out of habit.
Not only do I want to get back into meditating, I need to.
So I jumped on the opportunity for the
21 day Meditation Challenge
with Deepak and Oprah.

even craving them.
I feel more centered.
I feel ready for whatever the day holds.
When the 21 days are over, I plan on continuing on my own -
making meditation part of my morning routine.
With the variety of demands on our lives,
we can constantly feel overwhelmed.

With daily meditation, thoughts become more clear.
We begin to understand our own mind.
We can learn how to transform our thoughts from
negative to positive.

Daily meditation of just 15 minutes a day
can have profound effects on your
physical and psychological functioning.
You will have sharper thoughts and a clearer mind.
With a clear mind, new ideas become available.
Everyday life stressors won’t seem so stressful.
You will develop a more positive outlook on life.

There are as many ways to meditate
as there are minds to still.
Everyone can meditate and
find a practice that works for them.
In its simplest form,
meditation is just focused attention.
There are a variety of techniques and none of them are wrong. Find what you are comfortable with.
And please, I implore you, do not stress about meditating.
Do not approach this as another task.
Don’t think you may be doing it wrong.
The best approach is to just start.
