69. Create Inner Calm Quickly with Micro Meditations with Ann Swanson

See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

Sometimes starting something like meditation can seem overwhelming, or too time consuming. That's where Ann Swanson and mini meditations come in. Life these days is busy, and to fit something else in can feel like a big ask. What if you could do meditations anywhere, anytime? What is those meditations instantly made you feel better? At peace, calm and like the best version of yourself?
And what if it all felt easy and actually helped you create MORE time in your life?
That's what Ann's meditation approach is all about. Her beautiful voice alone invoked huge calm and ease, and our conversation dove into allll the objections to meditation and all the questions about how and why it works so well.
In the episode we get into:

• How meditation actually creates MORE time
• The science behind yoga and meditation and why they help so much
• Using meditation in everyday life and everywhere you go
• Meditations for stress, sports, relationships, dating, kids, work - anything!
• How to customize what's the best way for you to meditate and what areas it can help you with
• What exactly are mini meditations and why they're so effective
• How the brain's state changes while you're meditating
• Do you need to let go of thoughts in meditation?

I've been a huge proponent of meditation for a while, but I still learned so much in this conversation! The big take away - make meditation work for you and you always can find a minute or two. Just breathe deep and feel the calm sink in.
