How Often Do You Meditate?

Wait...WHAT?

Yes, that's right. How often do you meditate? Meditation and visualization can have a profound impact on your business. When you begin to meditate regularly, you create a feeling of focus, calm, and positivity in your life. And what entrepreneur can't  use a little more focus, calm, and positivity? 

Elite athletes, world-class musicians, and top performers in many fields have used visualization and meditation for years. When you visualize yourself performing an activity or task, your muscles and brain react much the same as if you were actually physically practicing it. 

You've heard the quote, "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." Visualizing yourself building a successful business actually helps reinforce that positive mindset. What happens in your mind happens in reality. If it works for athletes and musicians, it will definitely will work for you. That's because being an entrepreneur is as much mindset as it is physical activities. Your DMO will take of the daily activities to build your business. Visualization and meditation will help with the mindset.

Meditation and visualization can also help you shut down at the end of the day. I don't know about you but I often have trouble shutting my mind down at the end of particularly eventful day. Whether I'm excited about new opportunities and running through all the possibilities in my head....or it's been a less than productive day and I'm rehashing all the mistakes...trying to sleep when my mind won't be quiet is HARD! All too often we may start the next day worn out and frustrated from lack of restful sleep. Many may even turn to unhealthy remedies to get the sleep they need. Meditation and visualization can help you quiet your thoughts, calm your mind, and create a sense of positivity and well-being, allowing you to rest. 

If you are going through a rough spot in your business, meditation and visualization can help there too. First, meditating and repeating positive affirmations while visualizing yourself achieving your goals can help dispel any negative thoughts and energy. We attract what we focus on so you want to be filling your mind and space with positive thoughts. 

Meditation and visualization can also help you tap into your intuition and subconscious mind. How many times have you had a problem. You've stressed over it and thought about it, with no solution. So you decide to find something to focus on to "take your mind off it" and suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, comes the answer you needed. By taking your focus off the problem, you just opened your mind to receive the answer. Meditation and visualization work the same way. .Deliberately tapping into the power of your subconscious mind and your intuition can help you find answers to questions, new ways to do things, and new opportunities.

So...how often do you meditate? Ideally, the answer should be every day! Sit down first thing in the morning to visualize, mentally rehearse, and step into the vision of your future potential that sets every single cell in your body on fire. You must get up a different person. And then your goal is to sustain this new state of being throughout the day.
