Meditation is a very old practice, very useful and increasingly important today. It can be done in many ways, but basically it's a deep breath for mental and spiritual cleansing.

Practice is an excellent way to put yourself in the here and now, as it helps to take your mind off the anxiety-producing occupations of the future. The habit of breathing with awareness daily will bring you more clarity and tranquility for the demands of the day.

Start practicing with just a few minutes a day – 5 to 10 minutes. Sit in a quiet and peaceful place, straighten your posture, close your eyes and start paying attention to your breathing. Try not to blur your breath, after all, anxiety makes the mind work non-stop and this can disrupt your results.

The result is automatic. You feel light and calmer soon after. The ideal is to do it in the morning for a more productive day and at night for a light sleep.

Our mind is full of worries and fear and anxiety enters this cycle taking our focus away. Meditation is a tool to help you in everyday life, but mainly to feel more relaxed and increase your well-being.

It may not be easy at first, but gradually you will feel the positive effects on your patience, productivity, self-esteem, tranquility and health. Do not give up!
