Episode 48: Meditation is Like Mental Flossing

July 9, 2019 by Emiliya Zhivotovskaya

Ep 48: Meditation is Like Mental Flossing on The Flourishing Center Podcast with Emiliya Zhivotovskaya

There are thousands of studies that have shown mindfulness meditation can positively impact mental and physical health. In this episode join Emiliya Zhivotovskaya, CEO & Founder of The Flourishing Center, as she explains the health benefits of meditation, including relief from stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and more. 

We all know we would benefit from meditation. How can we make it a habit?

How to Meditate Daily

Commit to just a few minutes to start at day. Start simply. Pick a time and trigger. Don’t stress if your mind wonders, bring it back. 

Meditation is like training a muscle 

Meditation is training yourself to focus. You can use it to explore the process of habit formation, to make a plan, and discover what makes it stick. It helps to set an implementation intention and  create a system.
Every time you practice you will be forming a new habit.

Meditation is like mental flossing

See the benefit of meditation and see it as “mental flossing.” For best results, get an accountability partner, and make it a 30 day challenge.
Above all, keep coming back to it!
