I really appreciate all the responses to last week’s article Inspiration: Why Failure is Just a Story You’re Telling Yourself. I’m glad you guys really enjoyed it!
The quality of the self-talk in our minds in the present moment is a direct reflection of what’s possible in our life going forward.
So how exactly do we harness this power of self-talk to transform our life trajectory? One easy way is through loving-kindness meditation.
Loving-kindness meditation is quick and simple. The science shows it increases positive emotions, decreases migraines, decreases chronic pain, decreases symptoms of PTSD, and activates empathic processing in the brain. It’s also effective even in small doses. Super high performers such as Tim Ferriss have touted its benefits.
Take some time this week or this weekend and try this
13-minute loving-kindness meditation.
And let me know all you feel afterward!
Also, stay tuned for another powerful tactic for mastering self-talk next week.
Namaste,
Alex Blanton
