Meditation has helped millions of people during COVID 19. Several families, professional lives, and individuals have benefited from both the mental and physical aspects of meditation.
Janice Zajchowski, an avid meditator, has helped her balance her work life as an Enterprise Account Executive. Janice has been helping Fortune 10 Account overcome these challenging times. There has been a dramatic shift in the business from Account Executives being on-site with their clients to going to a "Zoom" world. The days are long and tiring, "Zooming" for hours on end with no real personal interaction.
How do business individuals, fitness instructors, medical professionals deal with this daily? The answer is MEDITATION.
The best way to start and end your day is with meditation. Even if you are a beginner, some apps can help you learn. It also does not have to be something that takes hours. As little as 5-10 minutes a day can project one in the correct direction and create a calming feel as one overcomes challenging times.
Please think of the individuals at the beginning of Covid 19 when the world did not know what we faced upon. The brave front line works like - policeman, fire department, EMTs, grocery works, delivery people - the list goes on. It was critical to keep our supply chain working, and they did. Not know what the world faced.
Not being a front-line worker or faced with the realities of being in the "field of helping people and distributing supplies." Meditation and exercise was an excellent way to be grounded.
Meditation offers both physical and mental advantages.
Mindfulness is a form of mediation. It is physical exercise for the mine. It is straightforward and as one only needs to follow one's breath and calm the mind. It is ok for the mind to wonder. Just focus on your breathing, and your focus will come back to a soothing environment. As time goes on you mine strengthens the muscle, and it becomes easier and calmer. One mustn't judge your thoughts or force your brain to leave a moment. Think of t as a cloud; just let it pass and enjoy the moment. It will give, do not resist it.
A helpful skill in meditation is to ensure that an hour before and after you go to bed, you do not participate in "screen time". One should not watch TV, be on the computer...etc. If possible, do some stretching, low intensity of exercise, or something as simple as taking a walk to enjoy the air.
In addition, to the mental gains of meditation is the physical aspects. Meditation helps lower the heart rate, which decreases high blood pressure and stroke.
In closing, with or without a pandemic, meditation is a therapy that has been in practice for years. One does not know the earliest record of meditation practice, but it is believed to date back from approximately 1500 years BCE (Before Common Era). Meditation comes from the earliest forms of Vedic, early Hindu, or India. Thank you
