Start-to-meditate

Are you being taken hostage by a brain that never sleeps, leading to...

​

• Exhaustion, yes objectively noticing that you haven't really managed to get anything done? 

• Sleep deprivation increasing at the speed of current energy prices? 

• Not being able to relax or enjoy during your free time or quality time with loved ones? 

• Feeling completely overwhelmed again on the first day after your vacation (maybe even the day before)?

• Repeatedly missing chunks of conversations or meetings (having to nod yes, not knowing what your nodding to)

• Je dubbel zo lang lijkt te doen over je taken van de dag?

• Alsmaar bevroren voor je uitstaart en er eeuwig over doet in gang te schieten?

• ...

As a massive overthinker myself - quite frankly the label ADD would probably be applicable, however I'm not a big fan of labels so I prefer to leave it undiagnosed ;) - I know what it's like to have thoughts racing by like traffic on a highway during peak hour. Really, I do.

 

And I also know this leads many to believe that 'meditation' or 'mindfulness' is not for them. Though I had to learn the hard way myself, it is exactly for you. It is exactly what that overactive monkey mind of yours needs. It is not because the bastard is so difficult to tame that we should leave it at that. On the contrary, it is essential that you train it. Whereas for others mindfulness-training is a bonus, for you it's a necessity. 

 

I'm not going to stand here and say "now that I've been meditating consistently for years, he's quiet all the time." That wouldn't be truthful. He's stil very lively, the major difference however is that I'm not defined by his erratic nature anymore. I can spot him better. I can return to the present moment and I can choose my responses much more consciously. In this way I can honestly say, building a meditation practice is probably one of the biggest lifehacks there is.  

 

It's one thing to know this, yet a whole other playing field to actually do it, and to keep on doing it over time. Knowing how difficult it was for me to actually build a consistent practice with this overactive brain of mine, guidance isn't to be underestimated. 

​
