Maximized Living Doctor Greg Loman is a member of the network of highly trained, certified chiropractors who understands the value of getting yourself centered before going out to meet the demands of the outside world. The practice of morning meditation has long been taught by any number of disciplines – and for good reason. When you spend some time getting “centered” before diving into the activities and intrusions of regular, daily life, you will be better prepared to handle whatever life serves up that day.

You wake up into a mindset of some sort anyway. Many of us wake up into “I don’t want to get up” or just plain “I don’t want to.” Some of us require a cup of coffee or tea and a shower before we are able to handle any conscious thought. For this group, trying to meditate would only put us back to sleep.

However, figuring out where to insert a few minutes of quiet, a few minutes of time spent in focusing on who we want to be in the face of the world’s quirks, can make the difference in how your day goes.

Try to carve out a few minutes for yourself at about the same time every day. Try putting on a soft, tuneless CD of something like rain, running water, or birdsong to help block out the “noise” in your mind. When your mind is calm, think of something that fills you with gratitude. Try thinking of the beauty of nature or the blessings of drawing breath. Holding such thoughts as a background for your day will grant you a far better existence.
