in 7 Kernaussagen verstehen

Kernaussage 1 von 7

What’s in it for me? Discover how meditation creates the daily headspace that will improve your life.

Do you find your mind wandering, restless, stressed and even chaotic? You’re not alone. The tempo of modern life can make you feel overwhelmed with things to do, places to see and life-affirming moments to be had, so how do you squeeze in some peace of mind? Maybe it’s not about doing more, but instead finding an opportunity to tune out the buzz and appreciate what you’re experiencing.

Meditation is about being aware and mindful of what you’re already doing. It’s about creating headspace in everything you do, instead of cramming in one hour of meditation when you think you have the time for it. In the following blinks you will not only learn how meditation can help you, but also how to combine it with your current lifestyle. It can be easier than you think.

In these blinks you’ll discover

why focused meditation makes you care more about others;
how more headspace helped nine out of ten people improve their sleep; and
the mindful possibilities of something as simple as a walk.

Headspace means living just as you already do – with an added sense of peace and fulfillment.

Imagine a life in which you can relish the moment and are free of extraneous thoughts, worries and distractions. This clear-headed state can be referred to as headspace. Sounds blissful, right? But how do you get there?

As you may have guessed – through meditation. By practicing regular meditation, you can teach your mind to relax back into its natural, chaos-free state.

So what exactly is meditation? It’s a gentle unfurling of the mind in order to cultivate a more direct insight into the moment. It’s being conscious of how and why we feel the way we do. Engaging in meditation offers respite from all the pressures and distractions of the modern world that make a perfect breeding ground for anxiety, and in turn affect our happiness and our relationships.

Furthermore, meditation is the skill of knowing how to step back and not let yourself get caught up in endless spirals of unproductive negative thoughts. A frantic, anxious mind is like a wild horse: to train it, you must be easy on it, cut it some slack and give it the space it needs. Gentleness is key.

Great techniques to ease into meditation include simply sitting still and allowing your thoughts to drift by without becoming attached to them. You can elaborate on this exercise by focusing on a particular sense, such as sight or sound, and if you find yourself getting hijacked by your thoughts, simply refocus your attention to that particular sense.

If you’re looking for moments of clarity, they will come from “not doing” and stepping back to allow the mind to wind down when – and how – it wants.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a good or bad meditation. There is only a distracted or undistracted meditation or an aware or unaware person.

Knowing how to approach the practice of meditation is key to getting results.

Where do you start when you want to incorporate mindfulness into your life and get some headspace? Well, don’t rush in and set lofty goals from the very first time you sit down. Set some expectations which will get you into the right frame of mind.

When you start to practice meditation, it’s useful to realize that the more you try to hold on to pleasant feelings, the more scared you’ll become of losing them.

Meditation doesn’t have to be an hour-long session, just ten minutes a day gives results.

Want to dive straight into an hour-long meditation class complete with chanting, burning incense and chiming bells? Perhaps not, but is there another way? Of course!

The Take 10 meditation is a brief session that gently gets you into the right frame of mind. Here’s how to do it.

You can find headspace no matter what you are actively or passively doing.

Sitting down to meditate now and then is great, but how can you integrate meditation more deeply into your life?

You can start with walking. Walking doesn’t need to be a passive, auto-pilot activity that leaves the mind trailing off into unproductive thoughts. You can use the time for a Walking Meditation exercise.

Meditation can be integrated into all aspects of your life and improve your relationship with others.

You don’t need to carve out more time to retrain your mind, because when you’re able to quit desperately rummaging around in your head and trying to control every little thing, you’ll realize you’ve already created all the time and space you need to be more at peace.

Use this clarity and headspace to provide a foundation from which you can handle the next 24 hours.

A more mindful life can lead to better sleep and being able to control eating disorders.

Practicing meditation and applying mindfulness techniques to other routines in your life doesn’t just calm you, it can also improve your quality of sleep and your eating habits.

To drift off faster and dodge insomnia, you can use the Sleep Meditation.

Regular meditation reduces stress and anxiety and leads to an enhanced quality of life.

With all the distractions and pressures of today, it’s increasingly common to fall prey to stress and anxiety. Luckily we know that living mindfully has been scientifically proven to be invaluable to our well-being. So how can you achieve mindfulness and experience less stress?

By adhering to your daily meditation.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
