"Take just a moment of quiet — even one brief minute of serenity is powerful," says busy mom, leadership trainer, personal development coach and spiritual counselor Dawn Groves, author of Meditation for Busy People.
Meditation:
-
Retrains you to live in the present.
-
Gives you the focus to concentrate on one thing at a time.
-
Helps you deal with immediate, concrete problems rather than being distracted by nebulous worries.
-
Teaches you to slow down and cope with the non-specific anxiety that plagues most of us.
-
Helps you respond more creatively to pressures that usually elicit habitual, knee-jerk reactions.
-
Trains you to be comfortable with a quieter, more serene mind.
Relax, Center, Release.
