I'll be honest with you, when I first hear the word meditation, I immediately think of someone sitting down, crisscross applesauce, on the floor, with their hands on the knees, closing their eyes, and probably humming.
But that's not at all what meditation really is. Many times we think, oh, no, I can't do meditation because it's supposed to look a certain way (and it looks weird). Or it's for a certain group of people.
But meditation is something that I have learned through my guest, Kelly, that has so many benefits and looks different for different people. My biggest takeaway from Kelly is that meditation helps me to realize that my thoughts are just thoughts.
A lot of times we think that the thoughts that pop into our mind are actual truth. In reality, it's not. Many times it's just little things firing off in your brain. It's not necessarily truth. Plus, meditation helps you be more productive. Ready to find out how? Check out the full episode to learn more.
