But when we go beyond that - when we meditate when we feel good, when we are constantly challenged and stretched beyond what the mind wants us to do - we raise our awareness level so that we feel energy at another level. When we only use meditation to feel good because we are not feeling good, we essentially come back to our standard operating system. And I've used meditation to make critical decisions in my life that have come from a higher state of conscious awareness. I've also used meditation to heal myself from addictions like alcohol and drugs. Many of my ideas that have generated millions of dollars came from specific creative meditations that I guided myself through. In addition, I'm not a fan of using one meditation technique over and over again because meditation can be used for so many different areas of our lives and one technique does not allow us to access all of the superpowers that are found from going deeper.

If you want to create consistent change that sticks, the key to breaking through to the next level of happiness, flow, focus, confidence, intuition, and creativity is to break through past the 30-minute mark into the full hour. I've been meditating for over ten years and my mind still does this in the first 10 minutes or so. If you're closing your eyes (a typical meditation technique) and sitting up straight then you are meditating. Most entrepreneurs are not meditating wrong. This is the overactive ego (the false self). The challenge is that for entrepreneurs there tends to be a compulsive, impatient, erratic need to race and chase. This is what happens when we start meditating.

I like to explain it like, this: Imagine bringing up all the sand in the bottom of a fish tank and then it all swirling around. Personally, I started to notice that when I broke through a certain time period, around the 30-minute mark, the voice chatter would go away, I would no longer question what I was doing and I started to enjoy the process.

When we get our focus back on track and get results, we get our power back. To put it simpler, bigger connections for the brain is like having an army with more soldiers by your side! That means that you will be able to conquer any personal war, and you will deal with your daily struggles much easier and more efficiently. So, these 'messengers'' grow bigger and communicate faster with the rest of the brain structures. Meditation helps you to focus because you've entered a different state of mind and altered your brain waves.īy meditating for longer amounts of time gradually, the brain's messengers work faster and more efficiently. They aren't going to perform very well on race day.įocus, which is one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs, is largely due to not being in the present moment. It's just like someone wanting to run a marathon and then training a couple of times a week but never increasing their distance.

After that period, the brain has now created a unique memory pathway, custom-built for a specific habit like performance and focus. Your brain needs to process the new habit. Starting with a short 10-minute session and progressively expanding it helps with the neural adaptation. When building a new habit, like meditation, you need an adapting period for the brain, and consequently the whole body. Neuroscience backs up the importance of consistency too. I started to just do it instead of procrastinating. Worrying about what others thought, overthinking decisions. One of the biggest things meditation did was get me out of my fearful state.
