In this video I talk about how 30 days of meditation changed the way I work. Meditation and mindfulness are always something I've had trouble implementing, so I wanted to take on this 30 day meditation challenge to see if I could get the hang of it. I learned a lot throughout my 30 days of meditation, and I hope you can get some takeaways from my meditation experience.
Have a great week guys! Cheers.

This is crucial! After my son passed away I literally stopped breathing. I'd hold my breath because I was stuck in my past and the trauma. It wasn't until I started to meditate that I was able to retrain my brain to breathe. Meditating literallyn heals you from the inside out.

@John Doe - next time you're suffering from prolonged stress, anxiety, or fear, pay attention to your breathing. I think you'll understand what Michelle meant.

You are a powerful person! Best of luck with whatever you do.

I meditated for a while, I was the happiest I’ve ever been. If you’re looking into getting into meditation, definitely try out guided. That’s where I started, and get comfortable doing it I find that when I’m most comfortable (Laying down in my bed) it helped me focus so much more. Keep it short as well, I only did 10 minutes a day when I started and felt amazing.

[@FearlessDreams]

I am meditating for the past 2 years every day. I've tried morning, evening, laying down, sitting, 20 minutes, 10 minutes, you name it. The most important for me is not to blame myself if I am doing it right or not. To this day I am still learning and my mind still wonders every 30 seconds, but I feel more and more at ease with myself and that's the greatest benefit I've seen in my life. Yes, I am more productive, calm and so on, but the fact that I've learned to accept myself and my actions more easily is a real life-changing moment.

[@Kurisma]

I like the way you approach your challenges, you learn and adapt. It shows you're doing it more for actual improvement not a checklist of completing a challenge. Love everything you put out

[@inspireyourselfnow]

Thank you for your sincerity. This is one of my favourite channels on YT.

[@GoalGuys]

Wow, thank you!

[@williamman7304]

I do meditation each morning and night though planking 2 min each day, I can not tell what I have unlocked though my mind but I felt something has changed in my mind set, life and attitude.

Good insight William Man

[@lachlann2036]

Idk why but I found your channel ages ago never thought I’d like it but I live your channel mate don’t stop keep goin

[@S0nder]

Meditate to start your day and at the end to reflect upon your day. Meditation redefines productivity with fulfillment. It restructures your mind to be more present, to have more mindfulness of the internal and the external. Then as a caveat and the peak purpose of meditation is that it helps connect you with your spiritual body (aka your soul). When you quiet your mind, your emotions, and your physical sensations; you'll eventually end up witnessing that meek light that's always been there just waiting for you to come around. The far future will have "spiritual" sciences, but right now it's largely unknown.

[@suncworm]

Bro this is My first time on this channel and my first time looking at a video but I'm already subscribed. I don't need glasses to see where you guys are going and I want to be a part of this journey. I literally weighed so much time and I know my potential but I just don't discipline myself to actually get up everyday and do it. It makes me so upset and slowly produces hate in my heart as well as -relationships all around me. I'm really ready to change man. I just want a better life

[@arescue]

One of my meditation teachers reminded me of the phrase, “Perfect is the enemy of good.” Doing some meditation is good. I only do 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening before bed.

[@hypalegendzyt6819]

I’ve only recently started doing it again it’s helped me a lot my mind hasn’t felt this clear in months

[@clairebrumlik5595]

Meditation and Yoga have really helped me focus on breathing, I always thought I couldn’t run because of undiagnosed asthma or just super weak lungs but i just wasn’t breathing correctly it really feels like a multitude of doors have opened.

[@Magne1]

Thanks for the insight:) I need to give this a shot too.

[@MilaDorovic]

I love your channel 🙏🏼thank youu

[@dj99surf]

Meditation is wonderful. 😊

[@brodeythedisciplinebarber1117]

Meditation releases these raw emotions where I go through a moment where I'm mean as hell. After that you start to "feel" lighter. It's a process.

[@tamazoid1147]

this is something I MUST try

[@AFlexibleGamer]

Great way to work on hamon controll too

[@skumbaggingit]

Wanna take you for showing us men how to do things, how to not give up. Super motivational

[@TommyGunner86]

seems like a problem was still splitting up the meditation into lots of sessions a day when the time increased. but it is really hard to do consistently.

[@467076]

Meditation for long periods of time takes discipline, especially when done consistently. That’s another reason to do it, build discipline :)

why? it's not like extra meditation is going to hurt you

[@delancyj67]

@@cvspvr The frustration of not being able to stay in the meditative state for that long causes people to quit. Just like with physical exercise, too much too soon makes people give up.

[@drilldrulus1235]

My rutine: 1. follow a schedule 2. sit still without thinking for 10 minuts in the morning 3. bodyscann meditation before going to sleep.

[@kH-ul4hk]

You should try a polyphasic sleep schedule

[@chunhee2310]

Im doing this stuff in my channel!!

[@anthonymarconi761]

It takes a long time to stabilize anything in meditation, such is the nature of the mind. It's longer than building anything physically for sure. Muscles take time to build? Well meditation muscles take even longer, and there's no "achieving your genetic limit"...there are four times of the day said to be ideal for meditation: right after you woke up, early enough, right before you go to bed, midday, or midnight, all with empty belly or sufficiently far from your last meal. I find morning works best for me, for I know that I won't miss my session whatever the day throws at me, the uncertainties etc. Keep at it. Don't get discouraged by plateaus, apparent setbacks, or even the perception of actually getting worse at it. You are planting seeds, they will remains underground, unseen, until they pierce through, and even then it will take time for them to grow into a strong tree with bright flowers and fruits. But if you do it, it will happen. No wonder why the parable of "the way is more important than the goal" is so prevalent in Asia. Enjoy the process!

[@visionary6953]

Do sprinting for 30 days or ninja warrior 2

[@StephBer1]

As a whole, modern man has forgotten how to be still. We are "on" all the time and quiet seems foreign and uncomfortable to us. Guided meditation is wonderful. But sometimes you just need nature. Some of the best "meditation" I do is lie down on the grass, on a towel if you want, and just watch the clouds roll by on a perfect sunny afternoon. The clouds bring an amazing sense of peace and the vastness of the sky so far away brings me out of myself. Anyway, it works for me. :)

[@FearlessDreams]

I love this approach. This is possible even at home. I was doing the dishes, preparing breakfast and listening to music this morning and yet I was so calm and in the moment. Since we have to stay at home the "rush" is out of the way and we can really appreciate and "meditate" on what's most important.

[@truthseeker7100]

I used to think that you are an older version of your younger brother who got bald due to ageing. You guys are amazing and inspired me to leave the unnecessary things from the social media and be more productive.

[@samuelsmithmed214]

I meditate 5 mins a day and wonder if this is even enough or if I should be using a guides one because it’s hard to focus on breathing for even that small period of time.

There are so many benefits that I cannot put in words, otherwise they sound very generic. Like, It makes me calm, It helped me experience everything as it is without judging.

If you just forcus on your breath, you'll feel uncomfortable. I think you should try focusing on the whole body and mainly the down site of your body like your leg, your fingers,.. just know, not control..

Next up, 30 day vipassana retreat! Ok, probably best to days with a 10 day'er :p

[@Submersed24]

Wouldn't the smart thing be to meditate once in the morning before you start doing anything at all? You aren't supposed to walk away with the take that meditation stops you in the middle of your work. That's just bad scheduling.

[@ionicxenarchi4532]

you should do a 3 month fitness challenge

Idk why but i tried meditating and i ended up feeling worse. More angrier and frustrated My breathing is spot on I can run better.

[@MyLittleMagneton]

There is nothing magical about the breath, try meditating on sensations in your body and after a while -shift your focus towards the strongest emotion you're feeling. What you'll notice is that that the emotion is actually a physical sensation in your body ...probably one you felt in the beginning but was unable to identify. Focus on it and give it the attention it seeks -it'll burn more intensely initially, but it will pass a lot quicker too.

[@thestuff4321]

Emotions can come up during meditation. If you sit with them and let them be you can let out the energy behind them and eventually they'll leave

[@Mr3344555]
