5 Quick Reasons Why You Should Try Meditation Now!

15 May 2019 By Ntathu Allen 2 Comments

Do you feel like you’re always rushing around, caring for others and doing things for everyone else – but have no time for yourself? If so, today’s post, 5 Quick Reasons Why You Should Try Meditation Now! is just for you!

How many times have you laid awake – stressed-out as you mentally go over what happened at work?

Or have you ever woken up, frazzled and frantic as you gaze at the clock and realise you have overslept! and there is no way, you will complete the report you took home to work on, and get to work on time?

Maybe, you are anxious and concerned how your daughter is getting on at college, you want to call her yet don’t want to get in her way!

I know from personal experience how “bad news” can quickly turn your world upside down!

Stuff happens.

Life gets in the way of your best-laid plans and ambitions.

Priorities change overnight and you either sink or swim.

No matter how much you try to control a situation and force things to happen, sometimes the only thing you can do is to “go with the flow”, give your best and hope things turn out for the best.

The #1 Reason You Are So Tired All The Time

This post is part 3 of our 5-part Get More Energy blog series and discusses the #1 reason you are so tired all the time.

So, now that you understand why yoga and meditation are the best ways to reduce stress, help you feel less tired, and boost your energy, you might be wondering what the underlying reason for your tiredness and lack of energy is?

As you will learn in this post, the underlying reason for your tiredness is often overlooked, yet until we address the core reason why you are tired and exhausted then all your efforts to strengthen your immune system, boost your energy and get better are undermined.

Modern science has proved what the ancient yogis knew.
We are made up of an electromagnetic field of energy. Everything you experience in life affects your vitality and energy levels – and either drains you and creates stress or energises you and fills you up.

Before we go into detail and explore the core reason for your tiredness, let’s recap what we have covered so far in the 5-part Get More Energy blog series. [Read more…] about The #1 Reason You Are So Tired All The Time

In today’s post we look at four ways yoga helps you to reduce stress and gain a few minutes of peace and quiet, especially at this time of year when office parties, work deadlines and Christmas shopping has to be slotted into your already crammed schedule.

How Do You Fit It All In?

Life as a busy working woman, especially at this time of the year with Christmas Office Parties and school nativity plays coming up, stress takes on a whole new meaning.
Christmas is supposed to be fun, but when you are a working mum the pace of life is unbearable.

You have bosses on your case demanding end-of year projects are completed and to top it all, school nativity plays to fit in, which for some reason always seems to be in the middle of the afternoon; this meant, when I worked in Probation I had to sneak out of work before lunch to get a seat in the front row.

Add to this mixture, extra food shopping, getting the Christmas decorations out of the loft, buying presents, visiting family plus your children being home, your stress levels are already at boiling point- and you still have to fit in your everyday activities and commitments.

To manage all you do, it is vital you take time out to care for yourself, to rest and rejuvenate. [Read more…] about Beginners’ Yoga -4 Ways Yoga Helps You Stay Stress-free At Christmas

The other day I received a phone call from Mary, a potential yoga student.

Mary was stressed, overworked and exhausted. Life was getting her down. A work colleague advised Mary to try yoga as a way to find relief from her worries and to boost her energy.

As I listened to Mary recall her daily struggle -from waking up feeling tired , anxious and clock-watching about getting her children ready for school time; they were old enough to get themselves ready and dressed for school, but Mary liked to be around to make sure they left home on time to go to school; this left her feeling rushed and anxious on days when she had to go into work early. Mary tried to leave work by 5.00pm so she could pick her children up from their AfterSchool Club. Her work day felt rushed and Mary often felt demoralised at the amount of work she had to do, often without support and proper resources from her manager.

I remembered how anxious I used to feel working as a Probation Officer and juggling heavy workloads with a young family. I was always tired and fed-up of playing catch-up at home and at work. [Read more…] about Beginners Guide To Yoga-5 Different Types Of Yoga Styles

Is your life busy? Do you ever feel like downing tools, pressing the Stop button and screaming “No. I have had enough…”
