is vital to your health and sanity to take five minutes daily to be still
and quiet your mind.

The ancient practice of mental relaxation is one well worth
considering in this day and age. We have so much activity in our
minds that our bodies cannot handle it all. Mental toxicity brought
about by stress and emotions such as anger and negativity eats

away at us until we develop physical symptoms such as heart
disease, depression, panic attacks, and high blood pressure.

However, regularly practicing meditation may be the lifesaver

we need. Just a few minutes each day of meditation and quiet
reflection is enough to restore the balance overturned by our
internal hyperactivity.

Easy meditation technique

Find a quiet and comfortable place alone, where you will not be
bothered. Close your eyes and mouth and breathe intentionally
through your nose. Focus

your attention inward, away
from the outside chaos. Once
you are aware of the stillness
within, you can focus on

breathing from your diaphragm
instead of your lungs.
