When did you last take the time to do nothing?
And when I say nothing, I mean nothing.
These days, we rarely give our minds a chance to rest.
And as a result, we often feel stressed, overwhelmed by emotions.
Lost in thought almost half of our waking hours.
And everybody just assumes, well, that's life.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Meditation shows us how to train the mind to be comfortable at rest.
It takes a little practice; we're so used to busyness but calm, that's new.
But when we cultivate clarity like this, we might find we have space for more contentment,
more compassion in our lives.
And don't worry, you don't have to listen to recorded whale sounds.
In fact, if you've got a few minutes and the Headspace app, you can learn to meditate right now.
