Modern technology dictates the speed of every person's life. Deadlines, reports, a high need to do more than what is expected in a day, these are the normal things that most people encounter each day. Because of the very hectic schedule, many people don't even have enough time to pause and think how to do all these things.
An article in Stuff, said that if this is the kind of feeling one gets, then the answer would be mindfulness or meditation. Like physical fitness, a person needs to train his body in order for it to get used to the activities, like if one wants to run a race, he can't simply wake up one morning and run immediately without practice. This is the same process for the brain.
The mind needs daily practice like meditation in order to calm the mind in the middle of a busy day at work and it also increases the focus you have and therefore helping with time management as well. To sum it all up, it is assured that having time to do daily meditation will help a person to be more productive with his daily schedule.
A good 10 to 15 minutes of breathing meditation allows the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and repair, to be awake and therefore finding some calm and peaceful mind.
For years many have used this kind of technique to move and reduce the minds stress. More recently, varieties of meditation with the help of technology came to be. However, what's important is that the core of the process remains the same: to bring peace to the mind and body and increase consciousness. With meditation, there is a space created to better understand ones' mind. People can learn to change negative to positive thoughts, overcome negative ideas and start thinking more positively.
For some, they do it because it is recommended by a health professional in order to help with stress, lack of sleep and also to lower blood pressure. Others use meditation to change the unhealthy and unhelpful emotions they are experiencing. This process depend solely on the meditator, meaning that anyone who does this daily can get benefits mentally, emotionally, physically and even spiritually.
