Ep. 141 | Why Meditation Makes You Better at Everything Else in Your Life

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode — your official public service announcement for meditation, you're welcome — I'm making a case for the practice that makes everything else possible.  A friend of mine with a profound meditation practice said something recently that I wrote down immediately: if you can't sit still, how can you do anything?  Today's episode is about the real version of meditation — not the blissful floating Instagram version, but the disciplined, unglamorous, completely life-changing version.  Because trying to be awake, alive, and ascending without a meditation practice is like trying to walk somewhere you could take an airplane.  Question to carry into your day: What are you avoiding in the stillness — and what might be waiting for you there if you stayed?  Want to chat about working together?
