Meditation can help you become less stressed!

Are there times that you feel really stressed out? I bet you do, right? We all do. Perhaps you are stressed because you walk into a home that has clutter and you would rather have a home that is organized. Or you could feel stressed because you can never find your items or are late for appointments. Or you are really busy and can’t keep up with demands that you are facing. You could be a busy professional and work is really demanding and/or a busy mom or dad that is spending a lot of time driving your kids to activities or appointments, or helping them with their homework. Or you could be a busy entrepreneur and believe me when I say, I know how stressful running a business can be. Know that you are not alone.

So what do you do to help reduce your stress level?

One way of reducing stress is by meditating. I have to admit, I do not meditate and don’t know much about meditating, but wanted to learn more about it and that is why I invited meditation educator Jen Johannsen as a guest this week so we could discuss the benefits of meditating and the different types of meditation. I had no idea there were 8 types! We also discuss Colour Calm which is kind of cool!

Jen is super sweet and knows her stuff when it comes to meditation. She was first introduced to the benefits of meditation as a school psychologist. So let’s dive right in and get started.
