With an average of 4000 thoughts a day flying in and out of our heads It is easy to see why we try to multitask. If we change our thoughts every 14 seconds, then while we are doing one thing, only seconds later we start thinking of something else we could do.

Let’s look at how ineffective multi-tasking is and how we can develop our concentration through mindulness mediation.

If you want to be a top performer or a successful entrepreneur you need confidence. Self confidence is also useful for work. One study shows self-confidence to be the separating factor between the best managers and the merely average ones. Another study suggests that self-confidence is even more effective than strategies like goal setting.

So how does Meditation Build Self-Confidence? True self confidence has to be build on a foundation of self-awareness. Basically knowing yourself is a pre-requisite. And mindfulness does exactly that - you get to know yourself without judging yourself

We will examine your body and its physical sensations in a systematic way, part by part. This meditation takes about 10 minutes.

Resilience can be defined as the ability to overcome obstacles on the way to a goal, without being distracted or overcome by the things that happen along the way. It means having an inner calm to return to, even when things are stressful. It means being able to fully enjoy both success and failure, but not to be knocked off course by them. It’s the ability to put one foot in front of the other, no matter what happens.

How does one develop resilience? Some might say that it just comes from life experience.

Some say it is an innate trait.

But what people don't much about is that , like most other mental skills, resilience can actually be deliberately cultivated and developed.

Follow the instructions of this guided meditation in order to develop resilience in your life.
