5 tips to star meditating

-

Do you feel anxious? If your answer was "yes", it is not for nothing. Data from ANS - National Health Agency - confirm that Brazil is the most anxious country in the world, and that Brazilians are the biggest consumers of antidepressants and anxiolytics. In response to this reality, people have increasingly adopted meditation and, with the advancement of technology, this habit has gained accessibility and has reached the palm of your hand. The Calm app (available for IOS and Android) for example, has helped many people to sleep, meditate and relax, and today brings us tips on how to be happier and healthier with ideas that fit into everyday life.


1 - Start with only 10 minutes of meditation 

More important than meditating several hours in a row - which is considered difficult by many, is to meditate a little bit every day. The most popular feature of Calm, for example, is an exact 10-minute meditation called Daily Calm, which is enough for those who wish to start meditation practice and realize the results of quieting the mind, in addition to better reasoning in day-to-day.


2 - Try a 7 day meditation

In the same way that practicing a little bit a day is more efficient than practicing many hours on spaced days; it is also important to start with short, achievable goals. The 7-day meditation program brings a short-term practice (10 min), different for each day of the week, which makes it possible at the end of the 7 days to see the results of the practice's constancy.



3 - Meditate with different themes

To learn something new on a daily basis, explore different inspiring themes and concepts that the app content offers. They strengthen your mental fitness and tackle some of today's biggest mental health challenges: stress, anxiety, insomnia and depression.

4 - Explore different schedules and define which one is the best for you

It doesn't matter if it is right after waking up, in that interval of work - that offers you the chance to breathe and oxygenate your brain better to continue producing - or before going to sleep. Every moment is a potential for meditation. So, try meditation in different situations and times of the day and keep practicing at that moment that best fits your day-to-day.



5 - Enjoy the me time

Meditation provides an individual and unique moment for the practitioner - a treasure in times of rush and stress. Take this time as an opportunity to look inside yourself and enjoy yourself. Try to calm down, listen to your breath and feel your heartbeat. Connect with yourself.



Meditation helps to reduce anxiety, relax the body, improve sleep, optimize the healthy production of hormones, the proper functioning of the cardio-respiratory system and has many other physiological effects. Wow! But for any of these to happen, you need calm. Learning to meditate requires attention, training and patience. Let's go?

A lot of people were curious about the Dry Brushing technique, a way to exfoliate dry skin using a brush or sponge! So, today we are going to talk a little bit about it! This is a body care fever that seems new, but actually, it is not. In France, people were already including the step in the beauty routine in the 50's . The technique can be weird because when you talk about exfoliation, you think of a pasty product being rubbed on the body or the brush itself with a liquid soap or something. The cool thing about this technique is that it goes beyond ordinary exfoliation. Long known in Chinese medicine and ayurveda, dry scrub also has the power to drain toxins from your body, helps reduce cellulite, is relaxing and also has a detox effect, helping in fluid retention. Other than that, it is a super simple self-care thing to be done and that we feel the results in our body right after doing it. Physically speaking, dry scrub will help you have very soft skin. R...

As the impact of the recent coronavirus outbreak takes hold, many businesses are taking the precaution of instructing employees to work from home . While it’s tempting to rejoice at the prospect of a commute-free day spent catching up on Netflix in your pyjamas (while answering the occasional email), taking advantage of the situation could look unprofessional and affect your longer term career prospects . So if you’re new to home working, how can you ensure you uphold high professional standards despite the more relaxed, remote surroundings? Here’s 5 advices from the fabulous Debrett's : Be prepared: make sure you have everything you need: laptop, mobile phone, chargers, and access to shared files and reliable Wifi.
