WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO MEDITATE

Meditation is likely one of the best, if not the best therapy in the world. I find myself over thinking sometimes and angry as well. I find that when I sit and meditate I get to that place that we all long to be. My process may not be comparable to that of a buddhist monk's but it works. I have a couple of ways one of which works as follows:

• I sit 
• I take five deep breaths 
• I close my eyes
• I clear my head 
• I slow my breathing down to the point where I'm fully relaxed

I usually do that for about five minutes and I find that it works for me. To me it's important because I have a bit of a fuse and like anyone else, it goes off every now and again. While some call meditation a fad o BS, I call it the best therapy. Imagine a day where the following things happen: 

• A tire explodes 
• A pipe bursts 
• You burn the souffle
• The cat pissed on the laptop

 How would you rather deal with that day? There's the possibility to do it angrily or do so with calm. If you do it angrily it will look like this: 

Why beat the shit out of someone with a keyboard when you can deal with your bad day in a relaxed way. I recommend meditation, yoga, pretty much anything to keep that emotion in check. All jokes and fun aside make sure to chill because life's too short. 

HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAMS

I have been writing non stop today, in part to convince myself of the fact that there is a tomorrow. It bothers me sometimes that while making the attempt to live my dream I run into some walls. Living a dream is hard because those walls are a lot like reality setting in. You will always be faced with people whose views are narrow and lack real focus.

In the end it's up to you to live your dream and make sure that you fight for what you want. Yes, it's very important to stay grounded and know your limitations, never to create them. I know this sounds like psycho babble and it may be, but it helps me. I feel like I have to give myself the ability to move on and the only way to do that is by letting out the angst and frustration.

This entry is for me mostly but if you can benefit from it, you are more than welcome to do so.
