I had a great day today! One of those days where everything goes smoothly! I trained legs at the gym and my workout was intense. Lunch was Eggs and Chapatis. Worked all afternoon and in the evening did some skipping and stretching. At the gym today after my workout I found the time to meditate. I practice mindfulness already so I assumed I didn’t need to meditate. In the past I also practiced painting for a brief time and I read that it was equivalent to meditating. This applies to other hobbies as well. But when I meditated today after having gap of many years I realised that there is more to meditating. Meditation helps in increasing and synchronizing Gamma waves in the brain. Gamma waves are associated with memory binding, concentration and information processing. The higher the Gamma waves the better those abilities get. What this means in the real world is that the ability to face adversities gets heightened. When it comes to technique it is recommended to hum rhythmically and I haven’t tried that yet but even taking deep breaths helps a lot. Today I did around 20 minutes and felt really relaxed. I want to build up to 60 minutes in the long run to see the real benefits. Day 103 was a success!
