The benefits of meditation are unarguable. It helps you cope with stress, low self-esteem, fear, anxiety, bad sleep, and many other things. Meditation is truly an interesting, fascinating subject to study and observe. So, why don’t you try it yourself? Why don’t you try and see the things it will give you?

Anyway, here’s four things I’ve learned after meditating for 450 days in a row.

The power of letting go.

You can’t make your constant flood of thoughts disappear. You can’t silence them either. They are always there, waiting for you to see them. The only way to get rid of thoughts is by encouraging them.

You have to acknowledge your thoughts, observe them, and let them fly away.

The same thing with life, friends, knowledge, almost everything. You have to acknowledge them, observe them and sometimes you have to let go. Sometimes, you have to let go of toxic friends, old knowledge, old clothes.

The power of letting go lets you move forward instead of standing and thinking. It teaches you how to fly instead of walking and standing.

Learn to let go.

The knowledge that there’s no right way to do things.

There are thousands of ways to meditate. Each of them is unique and helpful in their way. You shouldn’t focus too much on one type of meditation. Try different tactics and ways. Always strive for something better or something worse.

Each person is unique and each person will perceive each way of meditation differently.

Just don’t stand. Spread yourself in different directions to know what works for you the best and the worst.

Being innovative

Try to unite different ways of meditation. Try to imagine your lungs and how they fill with air and shrink exhaling it. Try to imagine a balloon that goes up when you inhale and goes down when you exhale.

Nowadays, you have to be creative and innovative to succeed or improve yourself.

I will repeat that yet again, do not stand. Move!

Meditation is not an exercise, it’s a lifestyle.

You mustn’t forget about meditation right after you’ve meditated.

When you have an opportunity, you can try to focus on your breath or an object or a sound. When you are working, you have to focus on work. When you are angry, you have to focus on your feelings and watch them fly away.

Let meditation become your life. Let meditation become a part of that lens through which you see the world around you.

As always, thanks for reading my article.
