he consistent theme here at MMP is simply to keep training your mind, each day. Just for a few minutes no need to over do it. Firstly you’ll need a structure for your mind, a saying, commonly called a mantra, a mind routine or a mental exercise; something that resonates with the essential you and your core self. And it’s this that will calm you down. But yes, you will need to practise by yourself without distraction. Results over time are guaranteed, be patient though.
If you have absolutely nothing that resonates here that’s fine, don’t stress. You are still in a great position to get excellent benefit from a consistent small practise each day. A cogent way to start is with your breathing: simple breath counting, very easy, very neutral for the mind and very effective. Read the post on the 4 week meditation program at MMP because breath counting is the introductory technique taught in week 1.
Remember you don’t have to go anywhere or actively do anything to get benefit here. It’s about naturally relaxing your body and mind will follow, detoxing yourself, reducing all the drugs including caffeine, and slowing down (not for the whole day of course) just for a couple of minutes, that is all.
The body in its natural state when not drug affected nor threatened tends to relax. This needs to be consciously and slowly cultivated so as you intuitively ‘know’ when you’re feeling more relaxed and calmer.
The emphasis here is on being as natural as possible and paying attention to what you consume (eat) and what you drink. They’re both critical. Being thoughtful therefore is required. No auto-pilot.
