Namaste, dear white collars! Today, I will tell you about ways to get rid of stress with meditation, which I have been practicing for a while. You know, as white collar workers, we have a very stressful life. When we say endless meetings, presentations, sales reports that do not arrive on time, traffic and noise, we can have difficulties in coping with stress. Although it is not possible to completely eliminate these factors, it is possible to keep our stress under control. Meditation can be a very good method for this. In today's article, I will share useful information about ways to get rid of stress with meditation.
What are the tricks of meditation?
First, I want to talk a little bit about meditation. Frankly, before I started meditating, this topic seemed very distant and somewhat absurd to me. But after giving meditation a chance for a few months, I saw that it was effective and my perspective changed. Therefore, let me first state that meditation is a long-term effort that takes time and effort. So don't expect to meditate three times and become "Zen" or wake up one day and experience "enlightenment" or something. If you do the meditation properly, you can get its positive effects over time.
You don't need complete silence and solitude to meditate . It is not easy to create such an environment in the real world, in the office or in a home with children. But while meditating in the office, you can distance yourself from tools such as phones and computers . In this way, you can protect yourself from the factors that will distract you. You don't need to go too far for this, it may be enough to turn your office chair or chair upside down the screen. If you are at home, you can close your bedroom door. You don't need any special equipment such as a yoga mat, bell or blanket for meditation . Moreover, the less material you use, the quicker and easier you can start the application.
You can sit or lie down where you feel comfortable while meditating . Your eyes may be open or closed. You can act the way you feel comfortable. You don't need to push yourself too hard about breathing. Trying to breathe in a special way, such as breathing through the diaphragm or nose, prevents you from concentrating on meditation . It may even make you dizzy. As you progress in meditation, your breathing will come into a certain regularity by itself, there is no need to rush.
Ways to Relieve Stress with Meditation
Among the ways to get rid of stress with meditation, you should first focus on your breath. You should feel the oxygen entering and leaving your body. You may notice how well you feel while breathing. In the meantime, you should get the meetings, presentations, sales reports etc. Let all the negative thoughts, bad memories, gossip circulating around you fly away with your breath. In this way, you will start to breathe better and you will begin to gather the energy that will enable you to overcome the conditions that cause you stress .
During meditation, do not try to set a goal or goal for yourself for the future. Meditation is a method of purification and relaxation, not planning for the future . If you attempt such planning tasks during meditation, you may find yourself again in stressful conditions. Instead, you can identify a keyword or two that will help you relax and make you feel good . These words should be far away from the issues that cause some traumas in your business or private life. By concentrating on these words, you can discharge the negative energy inside you, get rid of stress, and feel better.
If you meditate in this way for 20 minutes once or twice a day, you can go a long way in dealing with stress. You can look at the stressful conditions in your home or office more objectively and develop creative methods for solving problems. In order to get rid of the negative energy that has accumulated in you, pulling on it, gossiping is both wrong and a method that causes problems to grow. Let your negative thoughts and negative energy fly away with the breath you exhale during meditation.
