In short,daily meditationwill have positive effects on just about every aspect of your life.
Meditation enhances the quality of your nighttime sleep.
The only question is: what to do with all of that extra time?
You might drink less alcohol.
Many people consume alcohol as a way of alleviating stress.
Alcohol, after all, is a depressant.
As meditation helps yourelease your stress, the need for excessive amounts of alcohol begins to wane.
You’ll probably have more patience.
you’re able to stop seeking external happiness.
After starting meditation, happiness begins to fill you up from within.
How do you know?
Because as your circumstances inevitably change (i.e.
There will be less of a need to control people, places, or situations.
Because youve tapped into the source of fulfillment, which has always resided within.
you’re free to do less, and accomplish more.
Lets do a thought experiment:
You wake up feeling tired, sick or headachy.
How generous, compassionate, and open-minded are you going to be that day?
Now, imagine the opposite.
You wake up feeling rested, bright, and happy.
How much will you get done that day, compared to the other day when you felt sick?
Rest is the basis for dynamic action.
Less “FOMO” (fear of missing out).
More YOLO (you only live once).
These are remnants of stress accumulated in the body.
Stress has aparalyzing effecton your potential, and it can dim your sense of adventure.
As stress gets dissolved through regular meditation, you find yourself naturally becoming more daring.
This means itll be easier to quit that dead-end job or relationship, and take more chances.
You begin trusting yourself more.
The heart has a gained a reputation for making you gullible.
But as Deepak Chopra writes, “the heart is our center of wisdom our internal GPS.”
Mixed in with the wise guidance from the heart are the myriad fears from your head.
This in turn, will lead you to a greater sense of trust towardthe messages emanating from your heart.
you’re able to make faster decisions.
As your daily meditation practice gives you greater perceptual acuity, it will become easier to make distinctions.
There are many more changes that occur when you start meditating, ranging from normal to bizarre.
I like to remind them that whatever happens will be exciting and amazing.
