When it comes to meditation a lot of people have mixed feelings about it. I often found myself doing it before basketball games just to calm my nerves and get in tone with my inner self. There are many different techniques when it comes to meditating different than the one that I used. Others do it for different reasons but I often find that people tend to have a bad idea when it comes to meditating. They think it’s not doing it for them or it is just a myth but I want to give you the benefits from it and how it can help you.
- Meditation leads to a thicker brain size
- Meditation linked to better control of emotions and memory. Certain studies show that meditation significantly increased peoples grey matter in their brain more precisely in the hippocampus region where it focuses on memory and emotions.
- Meditations shows to have a positive affect on genes
- Lengthens attention span: I experienced this first hand for me because when I would practice meditation before my games I would start to listen to my breathing and control it and when the start of the games started my attention to detail was so much sharper than when I would just go into the game without meditating.
- Reduces Stress: Regardless of what situations may have you stressed out at this current moment and time I would suggest mediating because it will definitely take weight off your back and causes you to relax.
Overall I think meditation is something that is very overlooked and when it is done can be very beneficial to you. When I first started out I thought it was not worth doing but then eventually as I got older I realized all of these benefits from it. Try it out for a couple weeks and let me know what you think!
