How can meditation help you organize your business?

 

If you live in the modern, fast-paced world, you absolutely must meditate.
There are millions of marketers and companies out there wildly competing with each other for your attention, and believe it or not - they keep getting better. Ads become more targeted, junk food gets tastier, and posters become more attention-grabbing.
While this is great for their bottom line, it adds 'noise' to your life, and resultantly, people are becoming more and more distracted and mindless.
Meditation will help us take our brain back from a world of noise and will enable us to live intentionally.

The benefits of meditation include:

• Improved ability to manage your emotions
• Improved mood and happiness, lower stress levels
• Improved alertness and focus (regain your attention span)
• Increased self-awareness, mindfulness, and consciousness
• Helps you beat addictions and makes urges easier to manage
• Strengthens your brain (improved mental stability, memory, and control over the senses)
• Many other benefits such as deeper sleep, improvements in blood pressure, better organ health, reduced risk of heart disease, better hormone levels, etc.

There is literally no reason why someone would not meditate, aside from laziness and procrastination.

In order to inculcate meditation into our daily routine, we will meditate for 15 minutes per day for the next 90 days. 
Meditation is easy (it’s the art of doing nothing), and you don't need anything special to do it. You don’t need to buy fancy yoga pants or a special mat or any product.

You just need a place to be where you won't be disturbed for the next 15 minutes and the will to do it. The process is simple, although you will initially a bit feel distracted (but you’ll get better with practice, I promise!):

1. Sit down comfortably and keep your back straight.
2. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Notice your body rise each time you inhale and fall each time you exhale.
3. Do not change the way you naturally breathe. Let your body breathe on its own (don't manually draw deep breaths).
4. Let your thoughts come and go. Do not try to stop your thoughts. Just focus on your breath and the sensation of your body rising and falling as you breathe in and out and leave your thoughts to come and go on their own.
5. If you get distracted (and believe me, you will in the beginning), simply bring your attention back to the breath and continue as usual. Do not beat yourself up over it.
6. When you are done, take a moment to notice how much better you feel. 

Once again, you will not be fully focused from day one. But you will get better at it as you practice every day.
People don't fail meditation because meditation is difficult; people fail because they keep putting it off to later and never actually end up doing it. Then meditation becomes that one thing they did that one time.

Guided Meditation

If you think you need some help with meditation, check out this app on your smartphone called Headspace (or use any of the thousands of free guided meditation videos on YouTube).
Guided meditation is the easiest way to get into meditation. You will eventually have to move away from guided meditation, but it's a great start if you're an absolute beginner.

They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work. !!

 If you would persuade, appeal to interest and not to reason. —Benjamin Franklin I place this tendency first in my discussion because almost everyone thinks he fully recognizes how important incentives and disincentives are in changing cognition and behavior. But this is not often so. For instance, I think I’ve been in the top five percent of my age cohort almost all my adult life in understanding the power of incentives, and yet I’ve always underestimated that power. Never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes a little further my appreciation of incentive superpower. One of my favorite cases about the power of incentives is the Federal Express case. The integrity of the Federal Express system requires that all packages be shifted rapidly among airplanes in one central airport each night. And the system has no integrity for the customers if the night work shift can’t accomplish its assignment fast. And Federal Express had one hell of a time getting the night shift to do...

Why our millennium has lost its sense of stoicism in life?

 It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. —Epictetus Stoicism proclaims that freedom and tranquility can be achieved only by being oblivious to material comforts, external fortune, and dedicating oneself to a life guided by the principles of reason and virtue (such is the idea of imperturbability or ataraxia). Assuming a materialistic conception of nature, the Stoics followed Heraclitus in the belief that the first substance is in the fire and in the veneration of the logos, which they identified with the energy, law, reason, and providence found in nature. The reason for men was also considered an integral part of the divine and immortal logos. The Stoic doctrine, which considered each person essential as a member of a universal family, helped break regional, social, and racial barriers, and paved the way for the spread of a universal religion. The Stoic doctrine of natural law, which converts human nature into a norm for evaluating social laws and insti...

How can i develop my capacity for change?

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. —Charles Darwin Within evolutionary theory, evolutionary adaptation is defined as a biological mechanism through which organisms adjust to changes in their environment through morphological, physiological, behavioral and molecular modifications, which make them more suitable for their existence.  In fact, the word indicates this, since the term adaptation comes from the Latin adaptō which means I adjust to. Not all adaptations are completelyvpositive, and for it to be transmitted from generation to generation and persist in the population, reproductive success must be increased. In addition, there are numerous characteristics of the species that have not been developed to better transmit genetic material and that, therefore, are not adaptations, but are pure coincidences. The following definitions are given by the evolutionary biologist ...
