【Love yourself more】3 Reasons to Start Meditation Today

You will be healthier in the long run

Meditation can reduce stress levels and control job-related anxiety.  With regular meditation sessions in your everyday life, it brings positive impacts including keeping chromosomes young, helping to improve focus, attention, memory and creativity.  Apart from that, studies found that meditation brings significant impacts to slowing down mental aging.  It also helps with preventing cognitive decline and conditions like dementia.

Some studies also suggest meditation might even boost immune functions, improve blood flow, slowing down the heart rate and breathing rate.  These studies show that meditation gives the mind a break, and offers an opportunity for your body to detox and regenerate. 

It brings you back to the presence 

While some might think mediation means sitting down and doing nothing, meditation is actually an active training of the mind to increase awareness and mindfulness.  There are countless meditation exercises on the internet, one of the practices they have in common is breathing exercises.  Through focusing on breathing and the sensations you feel in presence, you’re able to take control of what you’re feeling and pay attention to negative thoughts.  This can also help with being aware of our thoughts and detaching from negative thought patterns.


As an experienced overthinker, I’ve had trouble focusing on what needs to be done, simply because I worry too much about the uncertainties and the future.  By focusing on the present moment, meditation keeps me from stewing over the past or worrying about the future.  Whenever I feel like overthinking, take a minute or two and exercise breathing helps with putting back my focus in the present moment.  

It relieves stress and anxiety

No matter if it's at work or in our everyday life, many of us interpret things in a negative way and assume the worst about ourselves and others.  Meditation guides you to shifting your attention and getting out of the default way of thinking.  Studies show that meditation can help stimulate feel-good endorphins and boost your mood.  

Meditation can be part of your daily routine in the morning to jumpstart your day.  If you have trouble sleeping, meditating before going to bed can improve your quality of sleep.  The good thing about meditation is that you can do it from anywhere, anytime.  If you feel overwhelmed and anxious, simply find a quiet place and be in a comfortable posture, and focus on your breathing for a few minutes.  


Some see meditation as a medication without a single downside.  From my personal experience, thanks to meditations, I’ve become more mindful and conscious about my presence.  It’s within your power to change your brain - start today!
