Meditation and Reading for Inner Peace and Happiness

Did you know that meditation helps eliminate negativity? Studies have shown that there has been a modest change in anxiety, depression, and pain because of meditation and mindfulness. Mindfulness-based therapy has also shown some kind of improved results. The changes have helped people see the world in a better way leading to new beginnings.

The year of 2020

This world is seeing a lot of pessimistic incidents. The year 2020 has been giving us big surprises of different kinds and different parts of the world. With the pandemic around, protests, wars, and several other unknown individual personal problems, it is getting heavier to breathe each day. There is immense worry about the future. Hence it is important to prioritize what you see and what you believe.

Books of humour and philosophy

The internet is a dangerous world. It is not for the faint-hearted. There is news coverage of all kinds that one wouldn’t want to indulge in. You can start by controlling what you want to see and the opposite. Read good self-help books that help you see the positive gift of life.

You could read books about love, compassion, understanding, and a better world. This is what we need today- to be kind. It is the last hope for everything and everyone.

Meditation and Mental health

This is the peak time when people think they are trapped. With the coronavirus pandemic, protests, wars, and natural calamities happening so much this year, it is natural to breakdown. They say that the privileged will manage in some way or the other, but it isn’t true. One of the biggest realities is mental breakdowns can happen to anyone, whether you are rich or poor or enlightened like God.

Meditation helps in the process of gaining the power of now. It helps you stay calm by doing some deep breathing and focusing on it. Initially, the negative thoughts will arise. It is natural to happen and when it happens, you can acknowledge it respectfully. All the thoughts will come and go once you get your attention on the deep breathing. This simple exercise releases chemicals that help put in more oxygen in the body than usual, and hence the body feels calmer.

Contemplate about emotional intelligence, the common good, spiritual living, among others to explore. The world will throw curveballs at you; it is up to you how to react to it.

The very pressure of staying positive becomes a bit much when it isn’t like that in their real world. There is this one gift of life where one should feel just as they do, instead of what others want them to. What is forced or toxic positivity?
