Remember back when my girl J Lo told us all that her secret to doing it all is meditation? It’s with good reason: if you can’t center yourself for a few minutes, it’s hard to put your mind up to any task. If you’re feeling scatterbrained, overwhelmed, and unable to perform at your best, a few minutes of peace and quiet are seriously in order.
It may seem counterintuitive to slow down when what you really wish you could be doing is speeding up. But meditation is a remarkable tool for feeling energized, empowered, and able to take on the world. If you’re feeling strapped for time or are just starting out with this practice, Simple Habit, the new five-minute meditation app for busy people, may be exactly what you need.
How Simple Habit Works:
All you need is five minutes to listen to a session based on your situation and need. Are you hoping for better sleep? Do you need to have a moment of peace in your workday? Choose your session based on your mood and goals.
Try it for a few minutes and see how you feel. The app will track your progress for you and keep track of the number of minutes and sessions you’ve experienced.
You can also discover podcasts and teachers based on suggestions from the app. This is a great way to learn more about how to conquer anxiety, reduce your daily stress, and get better sleep, among other benefits.
Reaping the Benefits:
Because it can be challenging to find time for longer periods of meditation, dedicating just five minutes to the practice can be beneficial because it will make it easier to practice daily.
Studies have shown that meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety, as well as help to balance the body’s systems (such as the heart and mind).
The practice can also help you focus your attention and give you clarity. So if this app can help you do that for just five minutes a day, it already seems completely worth the effort. Plus, it’s free. What more reason do you need?
