I’ve blogged about the benefits of meditation in our stress management efforts. It is ironic though that when we are most stressed we are least likely to take time out to relax. And I often get the comment, ‘I find it hard to do nothing – that stresses me out.’
The truth is, I found it hard initially and still do when I have a particularly demanding workload. But that is exactly the time to stop and take time to relax and re-charge.
And doing nothing may seem alien, but, with practice can become almost second nature.
My motto is – ‘Do Nothing More!‘ Practice, practice practice, and start small. Don’t set out to sit for an hour. Start with one minute. Watch this great video and give this a go.
There is significant research to support the physiological and psychological benefits of meditation, so what have you got to lose? Apart from some stress…
SG out and chilling;)
