How Meditating for 1 Hour a Day Has Changed My Life

<p>Recently, I&rsquo;ve challenged myself to do an hour of meditation a day for a whole week.</p> <p>Before that, I&rsquo;ve never meditated anywhere near this amount or this consistently ever before. I do meditate usually like 10 to 20 minutes.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been dealing with huge waves of anxiety recently that I don&rsquo;t know where it&rsquo;s coming from. It&rsquo;s alarmingly consistent it happens to me like every day now.</p> <p>It&rsquo;ll come out of nowhere and it&rsquo;ll kind of grab me by the chest and hold incredibly tight for hours on end.</p> <p>It speaks volumes to the fact that I&rsquo;m clearly avoiding or running from something and I&rsquo;m always looking for creative and positive solutions to address stuff like this.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s one of the remarkable things about meditation.</p> <h1>Experience</h1> <p>It was a lot more difficult than I thought definitely, felt like forever.</p> <p>I felt a little bit more calm and grounded but very challenging like I couldn&rsquo;t stop sort of following the trail of my thoughts throughout the entire hour.</p> <p>In these couple of days, I was quite focused and productive more so than usual. I don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s all down to meditation but it definitely feels like a factor.</p> <p>I did get some answers. I&rsquo;m realizing that there is a lot of change coming into my life. There is fear associated with that because I don&rsquo;t want to lose all the stuff.</p> <p>Meditation so far has been by far the most effective and efficient thing that I&rsquo;ve tried of all the things that I&rsquo;ve tried to bring to my life.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/illumination/how-meditating-for-1-hour-a-day-has-changed-my-life-22fb7d7ff339">Click Here</a></p>
