Meditation: My Daily Pep Talk
by Sueños on 02/06/17
Have you ever had one of those days where you wake up and something feels a little special about today? It's hard to put your finger on it, but everything just seems to go right. You start the morning by making the perfect breakfast, then notice you caught the eye of that special someone on the elevator this morning. Oh and the big presentation you've been worried about all week? You nailed it. Your day ends so perfectly that all you can do is lay in bed and smile. Well what if I told you, you could feel like this everyday? All you have to do each morning is take 20 min. to listen to yourself think or meditate.
Now of course there are almost an infinite amount types of mediation, but I recommend one that involves some sort of visualization exercise (see links below). These types of meditation are incredibly powerful in their ability to assist you in actualizing your goals. How? They allow you to live your day with decisive action by eliminating fear. It's in this state that you see solutions rather than obstacles. You're able to stay centered, and adjust your mood to fit the room.
It's in this state that I find my peak performance. Instead of being reactive, I'm being proactive. What does that mean? Here's an example. During my early years of college I worked in a high pressure sales environment, selling cell phones. My numbers were earth-shattering, and I often finished well above the performance goals. The key was not to wait until the customer asked to see product XYZ, but to anticipate what they might need. "It isn't every day you spend $150 setting up a new phone sir, make sure you're doing the best to protect your investment. Why don't you just LOOK at some of our phone cases." Instead of asking what people need from your product, TELL them what they need from your product.
This principle doesn't just apply to sales either. Living proactively will allow you to build stronger personal relationships, business relationships, it reduces the stress you feel from procrastinating, and it's all because you woke up that morning and meditated.
