Meditation Quote 3: “You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes every day – unless you’re too busy; then you should sit for an hour.” – Zen Proverb

By on April 11, 2014

We live in a busy world, and it is often hard to have time enough to keep up with it all. This makes it very easy to prioritize ourselves last, and it can be a struggle to have any time left to meditate. What can we do to combat this?

Meditation has the potential to give stress relief, lower blood pressure, and increased performance (among other things), and provides great help midst all the daily chaos.

Yet, it takes an effort to practice meditation and it’s not always the first thing we turn to for relaxation. A tip to help with this is to make a commitment to make meditation a habit you can not live without.

We brush our teeth daily, and drink daily – so why not brush our mind with meditation, and let it drink in stillness that it so desperately needs?

The ancient proverb below put’s it elegantly. Enjoy!
