Being a licensed psychologist I used to think that meditation was useful for some people due to its evidence base but I still couldn’t convince myself to spend time doing it and I could her in to it. I used to believe that if I stopped thinking, it would be unproductive. After all, my job as an entrepreneur revolves around analyzing and processing information constantly. So, the idea of sitting still and quieting my mind seemed counterintuitive.

But then something changed. I started to realize that constantly engaging my mind wasn't always the most productive approach. I began to see the value in creating space for stillness. I discovered that when we clear our minds, we can tap into our intuition so much better.

Think about it. When we're constantly thinking, analyzing, and processing, we don't leave much room for intuition to surface. But when we quiet the noise of our thoughts, we open ourselves up to deeper insights and understandings.

After many years I finally realised that meditation isn't a waste of time at all. It's a powerful tool for self-awareness and insight. It allows us to access parts of ourselves that we may not even be aware of when our minds are always buzzing with activity.

So, if you've ever thought that meditation was just sitting around doing nothing, I urge you to reconsider. It's about creating space for clarity, intuition, and ultimately, a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
