Week 23: 90 days of mediation!!

Dear reader,

"Focus on one's mind for a period of time, in silence or with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purpose or as a method of relaxation"

For the last several months I have been experimenting with different habits, I have been braking bad habits and creating new one's. For about a year I have been experimenting and learning about the powers of mediation and mindfulness. While reading and learning about the most successful people in the world a lot of them practice and use their spiritual power and energy to gain their success and fortune.


For almost the last 90 days I have been meditating every evening before going to sleep. I wanted to see, feel and experience for myself the powers of being spiritual and learning how to use mindfulness in the most effective way possible. Today I am going to take you on my journey of 90 days of meditation, what I have learned and how I use it for my success.

What is meditation?: 

Meditation is form of mindfulness. It's goal is to town down and quiet your thoughts. On average we have about 60 thousands thoughts a day. So for some people keeping up with your self and a mind that doesn't shut up it can drain them in many different ways. Meditation is a great way to give your mind small breaks and to find back your focus or energy. Meditation has been around for centuries and is being practiced all around the world every day.

During a meditation you are basically focusing your mind on your breathing and letting any thoughts that come to mind fade a way. You are learning to take control over your spiritual part of your body. For some people the feeling can be eye opening while for others it might not do much. While your mind has a life of it's own sometimes you need to bring it back to it's feet and with meditating you are able to do that.

Why meditation?: 

Meditation is very good for every one. Whether you are a kid in school or working a very stressful job. Being able to take a few moments out of each day to regain your focus, tone down your emotions or gain inspiration. By just breathing and letting your mind quite down you are able to achieve greater things than you have ever imagined.

Their is no right or wrong with regards to meditating. Their is just on way and it is breath. You will focus you mind and body on your breathing while letting go of mediation. It is a great relieve for stress, emotions, panic attacks, depressions and other mental conditions. Some of the most successful people in world use the power of meditating before making great decisions.

90 days of meditation:

Every evening for the last 90 days before I would go to sleep I would take a few moments to calm my mind. I would listen to a guided meditation while preparing to finish of my day. I would follow the guides that they provide me during the meditation and solely focus on my breathing. I would have a program on for about 12 minutes.



Not every day you would be able to focus for the full 12 minutes on the mediation. Some days I would go just a few minutes and other times I would be feeling so good that I would continue to keep the great feeling. Some days you will feel tired and you don't want to do it. But once you have done it and once you are about half way in the meditation you will feel more relaxed.

My conclusion:

After 90 days of meditation I do feel more spiritual. Also it feels easier to handle situations and to deal with people that have negative emotions. Not every day you will be able to do a full meditation. Often my mind was so far wondering off in thoughts or I would be yawing that my mind couldn't find the rest it needed. Once you meditate at a specific time in your day it becomes easier to do. I would say to myself it is just 12 minutes and sometimes I would be meditating for 20 minutes



When meditating, when I am about half way in the meditation I would feel more at rest and as the days would go it would be easier to and more naturally my mind would quiet down. Now meditating has become part of my daily routine. I will continue to meditate every evening. The next step is to find a great morning meditation as well and being able to be completely calm and focused for the start of the day.

If you have any questions or comments about meditation please leave a comment and I will get back to you.

Thank you for reading,

Week 60: Learn from others!!

Dear reader,  If there is something you want to do, know more about or become better at then often you can look for the right people that have been able to achieve what you want to do. By finding the right people that are able to teach you is far greater than keep making the same mistakes and failing at what you are willing to achieve. Most people that are good in something and are specialized are glad to help you to become better at whatever it is.  During the last few years I have been discovering most of my development myself. But at some moments and with somethings it is good to have someone you can ask for advice or more information. This week I am going to talk about what you can learn from others and what they can learn from you. In taking the steps to reach your success having someone around can have great advantages and maybe you can even help each other in some way or another.  Share the knowledge:   In this day and age it is easy to gain any type of knowle...

Week 12: Investing opportunity of a lifetime!!

Dear reader, These are crazy times, every country is going in lockdown, streets are empty, no airplanes in the sky. The world is changing as we know it. I use this time to educate myself. I have bought several books and I am planning on buying some more in the next weeks. But why is this the investing opportunity of a lifetime? Isn't the stock market falling down every day, aren't the business closed now and everyone is working from home..??? As Warren Buffet says: Attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy when others are fearful. Four opportunities of a lifetime: In our lifetime we will have four or five great business cycles where we can profit from. This means we are able to buy the business that we like so much at a discount from where it was several months ago. Think like you are doing your shopping. You love steaks, this week steak is at $5,- a pound, that's a lot for a steak, now you wait a week and you see that the same steak is sel...

Week 10: The everything bubble!!

Dear reader, The markets have been having some rough weeks. The outbreak of the Coronavirus has spread to over 100 countries and several countries have been in lockdown. The virus has impacted a lot on the world economy and will continue to do so for the rest of the year. Besides the Coronavirus there are more things affecting the global markets and the financial systems. The war on oil has spiked a great rally these last days and will continue to have great effect on different markets and industries. What is the everything bubble? I came about a video from Mike Maloney about a year and a half ago. Mike is big investor in global markets particularly to the world of precious metals such as gold and silver. His video's are of good inspiration and knowledge. He has a very openminded towards the different markets and the research he has done is very great to see things out of different perspectives. The title of his video is the everything bubble and I will leave a link t...
