You are calming down your prefrontal cortex through meditation, which, if left unattended, it gets more and more disorganized and leads to anxiety, depression, and mental disorders, not only afflictions like ADHD. Good on you for improving your life by meditating every day!
i just restarted tm after45yrs, still have my mantra, seems to be going easier than before, not exactly reaching enlightenment but for sure getting lots of deep peace which is so nice.
I recently completed the 10-day silent Vipassana meditation course, signed up for Wim Hof's video series, and promptly fell off BOTH of those wagons. Thanks for this and others, inspired now to climb back on.
I have anxiety, a lot of fears, stress, and also ADHD. First, I started to teach about meditate, how to do that and etc. I'm a 15 yo girl and I play football, sometimes that problems I told sabotage me. But I'm always giving my best and I'll never give up. Today, I started with meditation. I hope it will help
Yesss!! you are right on track Andrea! I felt pretty much the same a few years ago until my bro told me about Wim Hof breathing. When I made that commitment to make sure I do at least 10 minutes every day is literally when it all turned around an I started gaining control over how I felt and my energy. Promise me you'll do 30 days in a row for at least 5 minutes? best trick is to do it before you even grab your phone in morning! :) Good luck! keep me posted on ig how you do. my handle is thewillgrant
I think the universe wanted me to see this video! I searched for "how meditation changed my life" and youtube brought me to the video. I always thought meditation would be really hard to keep up with and the fact that you said it was hard to make urself meditate for years is confirmation of it. I think the fact that it helped you focus and sit still to read a book despite adhd is really huge. Also finding contentment with your present state is so hard for so many people. We are always worrying about the past and worrying about the future and the fact that you can control those thoughts must be such a weight off your shoulders. It's something I've admired in people who meditate but having the discipline to meditate must be a real challenge for so many people. Great video I learned so much about this topic!
This is awesome man. Reminds me a lot of my experience when I started meditating. Whenever I stop I don’t feel nearly as good as when I do and stay consistent with it. It also helps me be more present throughout the day. Which also transformed my life in so many ways. I feel like all the best times of my life come from periods of being more present. Meditation is a life cheat code. It’s always changed my life every time I get back into it then when I stop being consistent I just don’t feel the same. I think that consistency is key. We need time away from the extreme stimuli of the world these days. The world is not the same as it used to be and meditation is the much needed tool to step back from the business of daily life. Going on a walk in nature and picking a spot and just sitting there, no phone, no music, nothing but you’re breath, sights, and sounds. That’s also one of my favourite ways to meditate. Very transformative. Thank you for this video it’s got me excited to keep going with it again. I used to be very consistent. 1-2 times a day everyday for 2 years then I stopped and life was not the same until I started again. Thank you!
I look at meditation as one of the tools of self knowledge that is critical or spiritual growth. To me, it is a subset of one of the many activities connected to mindfulness. And all this, leads to an ever-growing understanding of why we are here and what our mission is. Having an understanding of our purpose is, One of the formidable pillars of being engaged in life in the most exciting and meaningful way. Very interesting to come across this right now. When you feel the universe is talking to you Is another exciting aspect of this journey.
I also have ADHD. mate you’re really an inspiration! I really connect to what you’re saying in the video! Sometimes brain is going 1000km/h even with vyvanse. But I will really work hard and make it a consistent practice!!! ❤❤❤
Hey me too! I was apparently ADD and have been meditating for years, did many cleanses and shadow work. Bob Proctor and Gary Vee have helped me with my mindset. I also went vegan in April and again, more doors opened up. I feel like I am finally, FINALLY entering the beginning stages of entrepreneurship...and I started taking pole dancing classes, therefore I installed one in my apartment. It's so fun and I feel more confident as a woman! I would have never done that due to fear and shame.
I have tried these and these are just people selling you anything saying brain improvent only thing i do is meditation...i dont buy other shit say no fap vegan and all those fake shit....i dont grind 24 hour like these foney gurus like gary vee say ....dont change yourself.....just meditate thats all you will ever need
I hear you Miss Kat! For me mindfulness/yoga plus eating a whole foods diet (vegan now) has helped to lift depression, anxiety, and plus helps me focus with ADHD.
I meditated for over two years & honestly can't say it made any difference whatsoever. Some swear by while others find it a waste of time Just have to try it out & see what happens .....
I was such believer in meditation. Health issues. Learned from books, tried different meditation. Then took 4 days intensive training …did 4 months religiously at 6 am/pm for 20 min. And then I got so addicted. 20 min went like 3 min. I was desperate for the feelings I had during meditation. I lost concentration at work, I was looking for a place to meditate at lunch but couldn’t and was more upset. I ran home from work to meditate, I lost interest in anything .. to do list was growing up and one day I realize it’s ruining my life. I felt happy only meditating…
You may want to slowly build up & try breathwork. People say as opposed to meditation that breathwork puts you back into your body. You can watch Casey speak about breathwork and Joe Dispenza as well as find testimonials which can motivate you. There is also a channel called somatic breathwork or somatic release breathwork.
Dude,if i was where you are which looks like paradise,id be meditating all day long too. Im in boring Columbus Ohio, in my little 3 bedroom house with 2kids,5 cats and a dog. Theres no time or opportunity to have quiet me time here and when i do begin meditation i fall asleep.lol.
hahah well sounds like the best thing to do is practice in the environment your life is.. that's practical training. we make the time and opportunities and we create our spaces. if your life usually has running screaming kids then mediating in that situation is where you'll prolly benefit the most. do the best you can is always better than not trying.
@@johnmiller-jf3ez your house sounds pretty hectic, but if we are truly present it should not matter what our surroundings are. It takes mastery but experienced meditators can meditate on a loud construction site as an example. I don't live anywhere like will either but I try meditate in my bedroom on the floor for just 5-10 mins every morning. It's less about the surroundings and more about just focusing on the breath and sttengthing the brain muscle. Look up the default mode network of the brain, meditation helps quiet that part of the brain over the time
@@iestooo dont you gotta be somewhat advanced at meditation in order to be able to do it in any setting without getting distracted esp. If ifvuoure ADD or ADHD¿
Thanks for the video. I like how you share your experiences so genuinely in your videos. Your video is motivating for me to start meditating consistently. I am planning on meditating 1 hour every day for 2020, recording myself and making weekly time-lapse videos explaining the different meditation technique I used for the week and my day to day experience. I hope I can communicate the information in my future videos as well as you did in this one.
Bro,the way you explained about meditation is really so nice . feeling gratitude of listening clear cut Information of mediation from you in short time. Love from South india
Meditation (particularly Buddhist meditation) is not just for making you “feel better”. That is just one tiny aspect of its function - merely one small symptom of its purpose. For more information, kindly consult the Pali canon re. the Dhamma of the Buddha. Namo Buddhaya.
I’m so anxious for these benefits, but I know it’s not about that. But if you don’t mind me asking how long did it take before you seen benefits? Please respond
valid question but the simplest answer is the more you sit and meditate the more benefits you'll get... Even after a 5 minute session. you feel good and much more relaxed..
How long did it take for you to make it a consistent practice? I feel that it’s best to meditate right before going to bed. Calms me down and I can fall asleep easier! I will write again updates! 🙏
I would try night time but for me there was some days when I would get in bed so exhausted id just fall asleep so I would miss it. it wasn't until I committed to waking up and doing it first thing before grabbing my phone was I able to make it a consistent practice.
How long did it take you to get control over your mind while in meditation session? I know its individual but as someone diagnosed with ADHD as well I was just wondering. Thanks for the inspiration
sometimes 3 minutes other times 30.. depends on how much time I had. just made sure I did it every day and shot for 30 minutes accumulation of the day.
Personal Email Seriously, I did it from when I was about 5 years old till about 16. My dad was a Marine and he was my coach. i hated it at first. I was a tiny little girl and I don’t know why he thought I would even be any good. But long story short, 6 years later I was the number 1 rider in my district even though I was a girl. I beat all the boys all the time and it was so awesome. I was always a good sport, never threw my helmet down when I lost, detailed my bike every week, spokes and all (strict military orders) and God bless my Dad, all the rules he instilled in me have left a mark on my soul. I eventually had to quit because he got stationed somewhere else and the family moved to a place where there was no track. I was broken-hearted. I would have went pro for sure. i was on the brink, probably a year and a half away. Even writing this brings tears to my eyes because I have never found something in life to replace that feeling you described: where all of your senses are completely engaged and you are challenged to your fullest ability. Flow. I have never given up looking, and now, life is more complicated, I have the responsibilities of aging parents and a brother with a disability that I will care for so the financial puzzle is real. But i’m my heart I’m a champ, and I know it, partly because of my BMX years and partly because I know that life is a blessing and you just can’t give up on finding your way to shine. So glad your comment brought be back here today to reflect. 🙏🏼✨,
its a practice of a skill for sure. I would highly recommend creating a morning routine that works best for you. and def put some sort of breathing/meditation in it!
"a literal deadlift for your brain" I feel like that too, good you could put it into words
hahah stoked you understand my language

I do it a couple hours before the gym, to stay more focused on what I am doing and on my goals
OOOO that's awesome.. love that
not only are you aware and meditating but also you look incredible fit and healthy. love that
That was a perfect description of its benefits. Been a TM meditator for the last 8 years. Rock on my friend!

This lad could literally be me and they exact reasons why today I have found meditation. Not sure if I’m doing it right but I’m going to stick at it
ahh that's awesome! don't worry about doing it wrong just do! experiment and play with just sitting with self in stillness! learning to listen!
So do you listen to your breath or use music etc
Will, this is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this! It's exactly what I needed to hear.
So true, I agree so much with everything you said!
I incorporate this in conjunction with being a practising Muslim, alhamdullilah :)
I meditated for over two years & honestly can't say it made any difference whatsoever.
Some swear by while others find it a waste of time
Just have to try it out & see what happens .....
A way you teach that how meditation is work for changing lives is unique, and I can see the brightness of meditation on you.
thank you kindly brother
Thanks for the reminder of the power of meditation! Let's get meditating :)
Thank you! I'm gonna try and use this for my new study that will hopefully lead me to my dreamjob! Hope this works:)
Nice video! The Bus clip traveling to Paris reminds me when you used to be claustrophobic hahaha That is before you started meditating
haha fuck your so right I forgot about that! so crazzyyy
You have great places to meditate! I'd love to be meditating on that beach 🌞
