The Rocco Effect - Meditation

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.

If you value the truth, even a white lie, in the hopes to make you feel better, would hurt you. If you value family, only for them to pick friends over you, that would hurt. Often we feel this way, without knowing why and this leads to a lot of stress and questioning ourselves.  Once you know your values, knowing what choice to make is a lot easier. You choose whatever choice is closest to your highest values. Even in failure, you can rest happy, knowing that you made the right choice. Comic Video Reading Task 1.
