Meditate For 20 Minutes Per Day

Meditation or quiet time every single day will do wonders to help alleviate stress. This might be one of the most difficult changes to implement because people generally dont like quiet and it is difficult in our society to sit quietly doing seemingly nothing to go within. However, it is the most important thing you can do to change your life. Meditation will not only lower your stress but will give you the guidance you need to completely change your life for the better. Whatever you want and need can be achieved through daily meditation.

People think you accomplish through action when in reality you can accomplish much more with regular meditation than you can with action. Its something like one hour of meditation is worth 7 hours of action. Dont overwhelm yourself by trying to do an hour of meditation right off the bat. I recommend 20 minutes to start off with because its doable. You can slowly increase the time as you are able to do the 20 minutes everyday comfortably. You can start with a meditation DVD (there are a bunch of them out on the market) or some quiet relaxing music.

If its difficult for you to empty your mind then you can pick a phrase or thought to focus on. One common phrase is OM. You can keep repeating OM over and over in your mind. It will get your mind focused on something other than your daily chores. When you get better at meditation, you will be able to clear your mind of thoughts of what is going on in your life and then you will be open to inner guidance to lead you to find solutions to problems you need to solve or ways in which to go in your life.
