Have you ever wondered why successful entrepreneurs like Richard Branson and Oprah meditate? In this episode, I'll share with you my journey of mediation and teach you a few of the things I've learned.

Meditation is becoming more popular and it’s becoming less ‘woo-woo’ – the association’s people used to have of someone sitting under a tree with closed eyes are starting to disappear.

Practicing meditation can make a positive impact on the lives of everyone, but if you’re a business owner, entrepreneurs, or leader, you can really use meditation to your advantage.

Lots of entrepreneurs and very successful billionaires are meditating. People like Richard Branson, Ray Dalio, and Oprah Winfrey attribute meditation to part of the reason they are so successful. They commit to spending quiet time with themselves each day becasue they know it helps them operate at their highest level.

Give Yourself Time

When you use the lack of time as an excuse you’re not thinking about your priorities. – it’s important to shift your perspective around meditation and time to create associations about meditation in terms of the impact on your business, your revenue, and your relationships.

One of the biggest blocks that entrepreneurs speak about is time. 

If you don’t have the time you need to look at how efficient you are throughout your day. When you go about your day feeling stressed, with important conversations and decisions to make, you want to do that from a grounded place within you so you feel calm and clear-minded, with sharpness of mind.

When you allow time each morning to meditate you’ll create a peaceful start to your day. You will go to situations feeling sharper and when you’re undertaking a task, you’ll be more efficient.

Tune In To Yourself 

When you have a lot of clutter in your mind, you operate very differently from someone who is calm and clear-minded. Going to meditation is a way to reach a level of consciousness and awareness so you’re operating at a different frequency and can become in tune with yourself.

The typical avenue for meditation is for the relief of stress. You can use meditation as a means to shift yourself to a calmer place, but you can also use it as a tool to reach high performance. 

As you gain a deeper understanding of what meditation can be used for beyond bringing you back from feeling stressed, you will want to engage in it more. Your internal calm energy will open up your creativity, help you to manage your team better, and your personal relationships will improve – this will all have a positive impact on your business.

Have You Started Yet?

You have a timeline for your business – there’s also the timeline of your meditation and how advanced you can go.

It’s important to assess where you already are with your meditations. If you have never meditated before now is a great time to reap its benefits.

If you’ve never meditated, you will learn very quickly that your mind will want to move you out of meditation – that’s because your ego, (your false part of you) will want to sabotage you. Be ready for your mind to tell you that meditation isn’t worth the time and it’s silly.

Be aware of your own mental chatter – your mind will want to take you away. It’s important to concentrate on your breathing and to leave your to-do lists for later.

You could already be using guided meditations, you listen to music or you’re already at the stage where you’re sitting in silence. Think about how frequently you meditate, how consistent you are, how deep you go, and begin to take yourself to your next level of meditation.

There are so many different ways to use meditation. It’s diverse and heart-opening.

There are things that you can do in your meditation – you can ask yourself questions to access knowledge in your subconscious mind.
