Since 2010 I have conducted a personal review reflecting on the past year. I was originally inspired by the work I did with Molly Mahar and inspiration from blogger Chris Guillebeau. I look forward to completing this process each year.
Meditation is a practice. Unlike in our Western culture that is eager for instant results, meditation works best as a sustained practice. When it becomes a sustained practiced, then you will reap the most benefits. Many long time practitioners will tell you, it is hard work. The benefits received go beyond measure.
Affirmations are powerful tools. Research says that affirmations can actually change our brain chemistry. Regular use of affirmations may help protect our brains from stress. When we experience stress, our body responds by producing the hormone cortisol.
