How Simple Breathes Every Day Can Make You 10x Healthier, 10x Richer and Even 10x Younger!
In just 5 minutes.
''what?! … I literally breath every second! How does it make any difference?''
Glad you asked.
While the headline says '' .. breathes every morning'' lets rephrase it a bit to '' How mediation can make you ..''
First off, if you think that meditation is weird or for weirdos, please just stop.
What you are doing is taking deep breathes and focusing your attention.
And a sure way to get the most off mediation is by being consistent. Without consistency you will not reap the beautiful benefits of a clear head to make you 10x better.
I will be showing you 3 steps that would take your ''breathing'' game to the next level.
These steps would help you have a clear head to handle any strenuous situation.
Ready?
Start with 5 minutes a day. Before you start, remind yourself how simple it should be to perform ONLY 5 minutes of meditation.
After the first week, increase it to 10 minutes a day. At the end of the month, increase it more as you please.
Simply doing this every day for the next month will transform your mind into an emotionally impenetrable fortress.
Step 1
Find somewhere comfortable.
This can be anywhere, you can lie down, sit cross-legged, or just sit normally in a chair.
Have good posture, but don’t let yourself get too stiff/rigid.
Take a few deep breaths, shake your body out, and start bringing your focus to certain sensations on your body:
- How your breath feels on your nose/throat
- How your stomach rises with each breath
- How tense your shoulders and jaw are
- How it feels to sit or lay down
Step 2
Close your eyes and keep your hands in one place, normally flat on your thighs.
Start breathing through your nose only.
Breath air into your stomach, not your chest.
Your stomach should be rising
and falling more than your chest is.
Do a “body scan,” bring your attention to:
- The top of your head
- Your ears, eyes, and nose
- How tense your jaw and neck are
- Shoulders, chest, and back
- Stomach rising, back against your chair or bed
- Your hips and thighs
- Down to your feet
Work up and down your body noticing how everything feels. If it feels tense, focus on “breathing” into that area, giving it all of your focus to loosen the tense sensation.
Step 3
Once you have scanned down your body, it’s time to switch your attention to your breath.
You can create an ‘anchor’ out of 2 things:
- How your breath feels as it passes your nose
- How your stomach feels as it rises and falls
As you are meditating, this will be where you bring your attention back to when thoughts start popping up.
Thoughts will pop up, that is okay (and the purpose of meditation).
Over time, work towards not placing any judgement on your thoughts. Let them flow in and out of your brain.
When you realize that you are thinking too much and not focusing on your ‘anchor,’ bring your attention back to your nose or stomach.
This is meditation in a nutshell. Let thoughts flow in and out of your head and continuously bring your focus back to your ‘anchor.
Simply doing this for 5-10 minutes will have a profound effect on your life, I’m not joking here.
I understand why most are skeptical. How can sitting and breathing help you feel better?
My only explanation is that our mind is extremely complex.
Having the ability to calm it down and shut down overthinking on demand is a superpower in a world filled with poisonous information and misconceptions.
If you are having trouble with this, I would highly recommend downloading an app and following a guided meditation session for your first month.
Apps that I recommend are Calm, Headspace, or Waking Up.
If you do this over time, you'd be surprised at your progress with everything.
Mental clarity is the step to abundance.
And that's about it.
Hope this helps you … let me know in the comments
Thank you for this 🤜🤛
