Hello beautiful people! How has life been treating you? The weather in the UK has been a little chaotic with last week’s bout of snow. Not something we were looking forward to in March, especially with the way things have been. In light of this, I decided to challenge myself to meditating everyday. I’m sharing the 5 benefits of meditating daily for 30 days.

5 Benefits of Meditating Daily for 30 Days

Reduction of Stress and Anxiety

First, regular meditation can help to reduce stress and anxiety. When you focus on your breath and let go of negative thoughts, you can achieve a sense of inner peace and relaxation. I started doing Vipassana meditation which is all about focusing on the breath. Over time, I found that whilst my thoughts continued, I was able to dis-engage from it. This can help to reduce the physical and emotional effects of stress, and can even help to improve sleep quality. We all know how important having good sleep hygiene is.

Improves Mental Clarity and Focus

Second, meditating daily for 30 days can help to improve mental clarity and focus. You know those times when your head feels so full with lists, information and just noise? Meditation can help improve on that. By taking time to observe and quiet the mind, individuals can become more aware of their thoughts and emotions. This can help to reduce distractions and increase concentration, resulting in improved focus and clarity. 

Boosts Creativity

Third, a regular meditation practice can help to boost creativity. By taking time to observe and quiet the mind, individuals can become more aware of their thoughts and emotions. This can help to open up new perspectives and ideas, resulting in increased creativity. I can wholeheartedly say that this worked for me. I came up with blog post ideas, reels and photoshoot ideas for summer. Try it! You never know what creative ideas you come up with as you have the mental space.

Increases Self-Awareness

Fourth, meditating daily for 30 days can help to increase self-awareness. By taking time to observe and quiet the mind, individuals can become more aware of their thoughts and emotions. This can help to increase self-awareness and improve decision-making skills. Also, when you have self-awareness you recognise your triggers and take accountability for your emotional wellbeing.

Overall Wellbeing

Speaking of wellbeing, regular meditation can help to increase overall wellbeing. By taking time to observe and quiet the mind, individuals can become more aware of their thoughts and emotions. This can help to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and increase overall wellbeing. We all know improving our inner world has a domino effect on our outer world. Who doesn’t want that?

By committing to a daily practice of meditation for 30 days, I experienced a range of powerful benefits. From reducing stress and anxiety to increasing self-awareness and overall wellbeing, meditating daily for 30 days can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Will I continue meditating? Yes definitely! How about you? Let me know in the comments below.
