I usually lead a strictly disciplined life. Recently I decided to incorporate meditation to my routines. For me a typical day begins with a two hour workout followed by a peaceful bath. So I decided to include meditation to these to the beginning of my day. I decided to meditate for five minutes after my workout is complete. And I discovered that this was one of the best decision I had made recently. It helped me clear my mind and improved my overall cognitive abilities. It helped me focus. And most importantly it allowed my mind to calm down which is necessary for someone who lives a strictly disciplined life. Additionally I also felt that my body was recovering at a faster rate since I started meditating. I don’t know what is the scientific reason behind that but I have seen evidences that I am achieving progress at a faster rate than previously. And I hope to continue this routine without compromising it. And I am also keeping an open mind to other things that I could add that would improve or enhance my overall productivity. Thank you for watching.
