Your to-do list is crammed full and you only have so many hours in the day. How can you ever get it all done? For starters, stop trying to figure out how to fit everything in. Instead, focus on the high-priority tasks that matter.
Your diet plan only works if you stick to it. To do that, you’ll probably want a little variety. Rather than trying to come up with ten possible healthy selections for each meal of the day, stick to one thing for lunch, then mix it up at dinner.

You’re probably heard them around the office, things like being “down for the count” or some project being a “slam dunk.” Here are the etymological origins of those popular sports phrases, and for the uninitiated, what they really mean.

“Happily, the benefits of training in meditation arrive long before mastery does.” – Sam Harris, Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion
I was recently in a business mastermind group and we were discussing the idea finding flow in your work.
One of the other participants brought up that they had been meditating for a while and it had improved all areas of their life, especially their concentration at work.
Another member of the group interrupted: “but hold on? How would meditation help you concentrate at work? Unless I guess if you were a bit less stressed?”
A few of the others there who had obviously spent some time meditating looked as shocked as I was.
It was at that point that I realized that not everyone is actually aware of the benefits of meditation.
Whilst western psychology has finally adopted meditation as a legitimate therapy, a lot of the public emphasis has been placed on stress reduction, which may have taken away from some of the other very impressive benefits.
Here are 37 life changing benefits of meditation that you may not be aware of.
Note: I’ve tried to include references to scientific research for as many as possible, but where there is only anecdotal evidence – meaning lots of meditators agree to having experienced these benefits, but there is no research into the area – I have put an asterisk.
Have you had any experience meditating? Are there any benefits you think we’ve left out? Let us know in the comments!
