Meditating 5 Mins Every Day Changed my Life: Here's How.

Hey guys! So, since the start of last year, I've meditated at least a few minutes almost every single day! I can honestly say, this has massively changed my life in terms of feeling happier, having increased focus in lessons and in exams for longer periods of time, as well as being a more patient and less stressed person!
If you'd like to implement something similar in your life, I LOVE 'The Honest Guys' on KZbin, and there are so many free meditations available, as well as apps like "Stop, Breathe and Think".

YES! I just started meditating daily and it already has helped me separate myself from my anxious thoughts. I totally agree with everything you said and I’m glad you’re introducing meditation to young people! 🧘‍♀️

[@ariana_m10]

readbyzoe OMG Zoe I love your channel You should collab with Jade.

Separation is an illusion If you focus on illusions then for sure you are gonna believe you feel better Unfortunately a belief is not real

i originally discovered meditation when i started having panic attacks a bit over 3 years ago. they were affecting my life to the point that i could barely sit in class = my grades got downhill very quickly. our school psychologist introduced meditation to me as "breathing exercises" and it took me a while to believe it would actually help. now, three years later, after research, trying different methods, different apps and adding yoga to the mix as well, *everything* feels so much lighter. the biggest change for me is the one you also talked about; realizing that my thoughts don't define me and shouldn't have the full control on me. "i'm not my thoughts", is what i like to say. my ability to focus in class and in exams has absolutely increased as well. bad days are part of life, and also the moments when thoughts feel unbearable but it helps a lot when you know they're *okay* and temporary. i could talk about the positive effects of meditation for hours but the reason i told my story was that i wanted to be "a living proof" of how those 5-20 minutes you take each day to meditate, can literally change your life. it may feel unrealistic to some, which i totally get, but it definitely is worth the practice. thank you for making a video of this topic!

[@zlm08]

What were the different apps and methods you used?

[@aino8958]

@@zlm08 the app i found the most helpful was headspace! there are also some lovely little clips on different topics & techniques in addition to the meditations. it's also visually very soothing! some features on the app are free but there are also subscription plans available (i liked how you could connect the monthly subscription to your spotify premium, it made the price feel a little lighter hahah) my ultimate favorite method/technique is body scan! there are loads on youtube too :) overall i prefer guided meditations as they make me more conscious of the present moment!

I did this everyday in the morning and before going to bed during exam season and it helped so much! My results were even better than I ever expected!

I wish schools implemented meditation more it’s so great. When I was in college (years ago now!) I did yoga for an hour a week to meet the hours I needed as I was doing less subjects and a gcse retake. Our yoga teacher was so great and we just used to meditate and stretch and pause so great. Totally underrated ❤️

[@magdalenakosut5024]

thank you so much for this video wow! I think watching this was the last push I needed to finally start meditating as I've been wanting to for soooo long but kinda just didn't know where to start. I graduated from high school at the end of May and I'm really trying to lessen my anxiety, work on myself and get to know myself a little bit better this summer before I start uni, and I'm hoping getting into the habit of meditating is gonna help me in doing so xxx

[@senseisan24]

Oh my god, I needed this video so much! I wanted to start meditating, but couldn't find a push for it and then you helped me again! I'm so grateful for everything you do, it's incredibly helping me every day, thanks you so much💚 You save my life, love you🌸

Whatever happens, you have a smile on your face and although i don't know u in person, i know you are an amazing person. And thats what inspires me to be like you, not to get amazing grades (that's great too), but to be a good person and to make a difference! I love you and i will always support you! It makes me feel so proud that you are nearly at 200k!!!! I don't know if u will see this but honestly i just want to put it out there that you are an actual goddess!

Jade this video is amazing Since you posted a video about getting up at 5 am it has changed my life and I have been doing yoga and meditation everyday and it has changed my life I wouldn’t have done meditation because I thought it was a waste of time but all of your little vids inspired me and it does change your life and some people just need to realise that ♥️ Thank you so much Jade for been a very inspiring person 😘

[@tashaellen8327]

I swear you are proper making want to start meditating again, I used to love it I don’t know why I stopped. You mentioned so many things that it helps with that I have problems with like frustration with people and getting distracted. I might try meditating tomorrow haha thanks for the inspiration to start meditating again x

so close to 200k!🧡👏🏼

[@nintentalkmemes]

im 16 and was introduced to meditation when i was about 12/13, I meditate most days and it’s definitely changed my life!! sometimes it’s a whole hecking religious experience- I sometimes feel vibrations, have future visions or even just cry my eyes out. mostly though it’s helped me through stress and troubling times in my life and I think it’s so important to encourage it in younger people! Thank you for using your platform to promote such an amazing thing x

[@BasicallyBrittx]

Thank you so much for this video!! I've tried meditation for quite a few times now, but this video has really encouraged me to really do it.

[@creatorjakovlev7499]

I used to meditate every single day, but one moment it did not feel something I wanted to do anymore. So I took a huge break! Now yesterday I listened to a youtube music video where an indian flute was played. And I just sat...did not close my eyes tho, because then my mind just..wandered. I just kept staring at my curtains..feeling the notes of the flute flowing through me like water...and it was liberating. Meditation does something to us, to our brain (and heart :) ). So now I am thinking to meditate for 5 minutes as well... Thank you Jade for this video. You look amazing. And also congratulations for finishing your A exams ;)

[@ela8184]

I agreed and related to all of your points in this video Jade. Meditation has helped me in so many ways, and has ultimately helped me become the best version of myself. I try to do 30 minutes everyday, 15 in the morning and 15 at night, and it has honestly changed my life in such a positive way. Love you Jade! Hope you’re always happy and healthy💜

How long time meditation start giving result?

[@rubymurphy1262]

the free app 'insight timer' is AMAZING, so so many options for guided meditations, even a timer with ambient sounds and bells for those who would rather meditate on their own. there is an option for literally every mood, feeling or worry. i second you in saying that listening to one every night as i fall asleep changed my sleeping pattern for the better. i so highly recommend xx

Why not do it now? When you start university you will have so many new things to get used to. It’s easier to form a habit now and keep it up in uni rather than try to form a new habit while getting used to everything else. I highly recommend the app headspace. It’s amazing. Best of luck ❤️

Totally agree Jade! Thanks for this video. I'm a fellow fan of The Honest Guys and like you meditate most days. It's something that appeared distant and 'hippie' and something I never thought I'd get in to...but as you say the benefits are incredible and I think the availability of KZbin guided meditation helps to simplify the practice and make it appear more accessible for newbies? Hope you're enjoying exam freedom :-) xx
