How to clear your mind

by

clear your mind

Our minds are busy and with technology we constantly feed it SO MUCH information. Stress can build more quickly and even leave you feeling overwhelmed. To bring down your stress levels you need to do things that clear your mind. Meditation is one thing which helps in this process. Until recently, I primarily associated meditation with yoga or other monk like practices. It all seemed a little too much trouble to do, to be honest.

Modern mediation – Headspace App

This week however, I discovered Headspace. Headspace is a modern meditation app. There is no incense, crossed legs or hours of chanting ‘OM’. You just lie or sit down for 10 minutes, listen and observe your body as instructed. It is surprising how well it clears your mind. Headspace call it a gym for your mind. Watch this video for more information:

Have you tried Headspace? What did you think?

    I can relate with the mind constantly racing, especially with all the social media, internet etc... I find that setting a time at night and not using the internet or cell phone and just reading clears and calms my mind. I workout/ body build that also helps and I take a few bodybuilding supplements at bed or wellness supps whatever you want to call them. Melatonin, 5htp with magnesium. great combo for relaxation and easing tension.

      Hey Travis, yes I love that idea of not using your phone/internet at night. I have also recently started to do this, did you see the post I wrote on the impact light from phone/tablet can have on your sleep? I didn't know you could supplement melatonin! Not sure I want to add any more hormones to the mix though. I take magnesium daily though - it is great! I haven't been doing much in terms of weight training the last few months, so I've stopped taking protein but haven't felt that it has impacted recovery of my muscles that much after long runs which has been great! I'm wondering if that's the magnesium, they say it helps with muscle cramping so maybe also muscle relaxation/repair?
