 10 minutes a day, 30 days, life changed. No exaggeration, life changed. Keep watching to find out what I'm talking about today. Benigno and I am talking all about meditation. You've probably seen videos about meditation. You probably read books about meditation but this is new. Okay? We're talking all about the book The Big Leap. The author of the book is Gay Hendricks. The genre of the book is nonfiction. The theme of the book is success in business and successful people. Now if you've ever heard people say what's your zone of genius? Are you in your zone of genius? Have you found your zone of genius? That is from this book because this book is full of so much stuff. The thing that has resonated with so many people is your zone of genius, your zone of excellence, your other zone. But for me it was meditation. Okay? Gay Hendricks is a therapist and a psychologist and he talks about how he has to take 10 minutes of his day in the morning and in the night to steal his mind, to sit, to quiet his thoughts. But the most amazing thing and the reason why I started meditating is because he says your mind will wonder. Your mind is supposed to wonder. Your mind is not a file cabinet where you put something there and you're gonna keep thinking about it eight hours later, eight minutes later. Your mind wanders. The beauty of meditation is bringing your mind back to that thought. Mind-blowing for meditating. And let me tell you, it was hard because as a mom, as an employee, do I deserve 10 minutes to myself? Can I take this time? Aren't I so busy doing all the things? I am pretty busy, but I do have 10 minutes and to be fair, I started with seven minutes and I thought I wouldn't be able to do it but I had to use these affirmation cards. So I would pull out a card, I would read it and that would be the thought for the seven minutes. So let's say the thought is I create time. I sit there, I create time. I create time. What does it mean to create? Create is to invent out of nothing. I create time. I am inventing time out of nothing. And I just keep reciting that to myself for the seven minutes. And then it went to 10 minutes and then my alarm would go off and I wouldn't even hear it and it would be 14 minutes. And I've been meditating for 30 days and I love it. Okay? Another thing that Gay Hendricks mentions in the book is that you should use affirmations when you meditate. Again, your mind is vast. It wants to wonder. It wants to. You sit there, you close your eyes, you start thinking that you're hungry and then you think you smell food and then you're hearing the cars outside. Your mind is picking up. It's constantly observing and interacting with all these things. So what you have to do is bring your mind back to that one thought, to your intention or even to your affirmation. Okay? So my life is fantastic. All because of meditation. I take 14 minutes and I meditate every day and I look forward to it. I would almost even say that I crave it because it's not something that I scheduled. My life is not to the point where I can say 1130 every day. Here I am. But knowing that at the end of the day, even when I go on my phone and I'm doing social media and I get a pop up, it's like meditate. I'm like, Oh, I haven't done that. Let me go do it now. It's really fun. You know, I even had a time when I was really kind of like going wild with work and had all these clients and I was like, I'm gonna just listen to a meditation for five minutes. And so I was writing an email trying to listen and I had to just like sit there with my hands there and just listen. And I forced myself to take five minutes. I didn't even feel like I had it, which sounds so crazy. Of course, you got five minutes, but like, why meditate when you can do anything else when you can read books when you can write a friend when you can eat food when you can watch TV, you have to make it's a discipline, a practice discipline, right? Have you ever meditated because it will blow your mind. And if you can't tell, I would definitely reread this book, The Big Leap. There are so many things in it. I had to make three parts to this book review because I could not discuss all of them in one review. This book is phenomenal. And in fact, I'm gonna have to pick up the other books written by Gay Hendricks. Okay, so I'm a big fan of doing things for 30 days. And I definitely am going to stick with meditation. And I'll give you an update on how it's going, you know, maybe like 45 days out, maybe a year out. Okay. Watch this video here where I ate ramen noodles for 30 days and saved a whole bunch of money. It's true 30 days is a good amount of time for me. Okay, see you in the next video.
