“But I don’t have TIME to meditate! I’m too busy.”

I know! But when you are feeling overly busy, you are running stress hormones in your body that actually make it more difficult to think clearly, to be creative and to use your time efficiently, making you less effective and less productive. So you end up working more, being more busy, more stressed and getting less done. 

Sometimes this overload of stress hormones can lead us to seek forms of release such as compulsive use of technology (social media, email, games) overeating, using drugs and alcohol in an unhelpful way or other compulsive behaviors. 

Even if you only listen to PART of this 15-minute meditation, your body, mind and brain will benefit.

Or try it first thing in the morning while you are still in bed, before the busy-ness of your day starts. Let me know how it goes!
Consider this a mini-vacation you can give yourself for absolutely FREE.
