The greater the level of calmness of our mind, the greater our peace of mind, the greater our ability to enjoy a happy and joyful life. - Dalai Lama
Anxiety and stress stem from the same thing, an overcrowded mind. We make bad decisions when we overthink, which in turn leads to more anxiety and stress. Its a vicious cycle, but there is a way out, meditation. Meditation, put simply, is training our minds to focus on one thing. With only one thing in our heads we are able to think clearly and achieve better solutions. With better solutions we reduce the causes of our stress and anxiety. Clear your head, think clearly and start living an awesome life again.
