How Meditating Can Benefit Your Business
Hey E-preneurs! Soo for the past month now I have really been growing spiritually! I noticed it was time for a change in my life and I wanted a clearer focus on life and my goals. I am on day 25 of meditation (woohoo because meditation is not as easy as you think), I have been consistently exercising in the gym, I have become a pescatarian (yes, I watched What theHealth like everyone else), and I have been using healing crystals to clear and balance my chakras. These positive practices came from simply starting out with meditation.
I’ve tried meditating in the past and never could really focus so I gave up, but this time was different. After getting past about day 3 meditating became something that I really enjoyed and wanted to learn more about and reap all the benefits.
I want to share with you e-preneurs some benefits that meditation will have on you in your business as well as your personal life.
1. Increased Productivity
Meditation practices will help to increase productivity in the workplace. When you have a clear focus on what you want out of life and what you want each day to entail, your productivity becomes greater because you are eager to get those things done. I practice meditating every morning as soon as I wake up before I do anything else. This allows me to map out my day and have a clear focus on what I need to get done, which leads me to be extremely focused and productive.
2. Improved Communication
Meditation also assist with communicating clearer since your focus is clearer. This allows you to communicate what you want to people and get deals closed, sales made, and your ideas communicated to the right people. If you know me personally then you know that I am (or was) super shy, I wasn’t a people person, and just did not enjoy talking face-to-face to people. Meditation has really allowed me to become courageous and finally say what I want to get what I desire. Over the past month I have talked with so many people face-to-face and had conversations with highly successful people that will lead me success in my business and personal life. If you ever heard the old saying “a close mouth doesn’t get fed” then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Meditation will assist you with your communication skills so you can get everything you want!
3. Clarity and Focus
Throughout the day several times many of us face this thing called “stress”. Many spiritual people that I have spoken with say that stress is not real, it’s just an illusion. We are programmed in our childhood to think that stress is real but in fact it’s not it’s just a thought, it’s something we must unlearn. When you meditate to start your day, you gain clarity and focus. Having clear, positive thoughts and focus makes you will realize that “stress” is just something you are thinking about, it’s not real. I am beginning to master this because now when anything goes wrong in my life I simply focus on the positive things and all the great things I have going on in my life rather than “stress” about something I can easily change with a mind shift. Having a clear, focused mind is imperative when running your own business.
