Busy or not, Meditation has calming power. It’s understanding the stillness and having a secret weapon in your back pocket. It’s takes practice though. We are learning that with mental health, things get a little complicated and even confusing, so tools like Mediation is something quick you can incorporate that doesn’t take much time to incorporate. Meditation is the practice of mindfulness and focus where you train your attention and  awareness to achieve mental clarity, with calm and stable emotions. It’s taking a moment to get still, to honor your current thoughts and reel them back in! At the 2019 Affirmation Summit, we saw it in real time — people taking a moment to meditate. Women with businesses, counselors, moms and sister friends.

Partnering with Samsung was the icing on the “self-care” cake. We learned that Samsung phones come with the Health App. And with the Samsung Health App, “you can track key wellness metrics to help you manage your personal health. You can even video chat with a board-certified physician if you have a medical question or need a prescription.” — who knew. At the 2019 Affirmation Summit we did three minute meditations in a circle. It was the perfect wine down for women with a lot on their plates. Great thing about meditating is that you have to be good at it, just open to it. Here’s 4 ways Mediation works:

(1) Meditation is good for the person on the move.

You get choose how long you meditate. There’s no right or wrong length, just the one that’s centering and special for you. You can meditate in the car, standing or sitting. There’s so much flexibility with this coping strategy.

(2) Meditation helps with anxiety.

Having anxiety is no fun, but with a few tools in your tools box, you can breathe through it instead of letting it take over. Anxiety is a projection or fear and so many combinations of thoughts and feelings that we create. We have good news, you CAN work through it and meditation can help.

(3) Mediation helps with emotionalism.

Emotionalism can rob you of moments to response maturely and with a clear head. Meditation allows you to take a moment to decide how you really feel. It helps you understand what’s really going on.

(4) MEDIATION HELPS YOU CALM DOWN.

Meditation can not only put you to sleep, but it can bring a natural calmness. We loved using the Level Samsung headphones to tune out the noise. The noise in our minds, hearts and around us. Noise cancelling is a beautiful thing and you deserve a moment of peace.
