Is Meditation Worth It? See For Yourself
I have been practicing mindfulness for about 9 months now and I am proud to say it has slightly improved my quality of life. Yes. “Slightly”.
Most articles about meditation and mindfulness nowadays are about how incredible it is and how it has changed the writer’s life for the better manifold.
This is NOT one of those.
I already wrote about meditation a few months ago about how it may be of use but didn’t deserve to be “pushed” onto others as incredible. I am now slowly discovering it isn’t that life-changing in the short term but does impact positively your life.
The reason for this half-baked opinion is simply that my life as a whole is generally the same.
My friend circle hasn’t changed. My work is still the same and my opinion on it hasn’t evolved much since I started meditating. My love life has gotten better but not especially thanks to mindfulness.
There have been some betterment but mindfulness wasn’t the only trigger of those.
So here are a few reasons why I recommend mindfulness and meditation as a whole but won’t lie saying it’ll drastically change your life.
The only thing that will really change your life is you.
