 There are some things you should never do after you've meditated and this is really important because when you meditate you change your brainwave state your frequencies to a different state so you become more relaxed and in one of the more suggestive, suggestible and open brainwave states after you've meditated your brain is like a sponge and you're going to absorb every thought and idea that comes into your brain and into your consciousness. Here are the top five things you should never do after you've just meditated. Number one, don't consume media content. Don't look at the news, don't go on social media, don't look at scary films or headlines because like I've said your brain after meditation is like a sponge. You're going to absorb all of that stuff and take it into your subconscious mind. You might absorb a belief, a negative idea, a scary idea, maybe even you become fearful or annoyed or okay, critical, paranoid. You don't want to consume any media after meditation. To be honest you shouldn't be consuming media at all and when I say media I mean like the news and stuff like that. Number two, you don't want to do something really physical straight away. If you've just meditated you're relaxed and your nervous system is at a low slow level, you're relaxed and that's the purpose of meditation to be relaxed and to be more self-aware so if you then go and jump into a powerlifting workout or if you then go for a run or jump up and do something crazy you're shocking your nervous system and not in a good way. You're actually reducing or you know reversing the positive effects of meditation with that exercise and this is just going to reverse the effects and kind of make it a waste of time to have done the meditation in the first place. If you're going to exercise, which you should, you should wait at least an hour after meditation unless the exercise is something kind of soft like yoga, walking, Pilates, that kind of exercise. Those kind of exercises are fine but not things like running, powerlifting, cardio, a hit training. Number three, after meditation do not try and do something stressful. You should avoid stress for as long as possible unless you absolutely have to do that stressful thing. Like let's say if you know that checking your emails is going to stress you out. Don't do it straight after meditation because you've just got your body into a relaxed, you know, peaceful state. If you have to check the emails and this applies to anything that might stress you out. Do the thing and then meditate after you've become stressed to sort of calm yourself down because otherwise let's think about what would happen. You meditate, you're relaxed and peaceful then you do the stressful thing and then that stress stays with you until you next meditate which might be tomorrow. So you have the entire day with this stress in the background of your mind and it renders the meditation kind of pointless. So really what you should do is if you know something is going to stress you out and this goes for anything, it could be like if you know that you need to confront someone, you have an argument or a debate, check your emails, do something or deal with somebody stressful, deal with bills, call the bank, whatever it is it's going to stress you out. Do that thing and then meditate after doing that thing. Don't just meditate and then do the stressful thing. Number four and this is kind of before meditation but you should before meditation you should not eat anything really. You should be you should drink water okay but if you eat just before meditation your body is going to be digesting that food of course right and when you digest food your body is in a tired state. Now with meditation the one thing you don't want to do is you don't want to fall asleep because that's going to render it pointless. You're not trying to fall asleep here, you're trying to build the habit of being self-aware while you're awake. Now it's very common that if you eat a huge meal and then meditate you'll fall asleep and this is really common especially in like these meditation retreats and things like that or you know if people are trying to meditate for a long period of time they will eat before thinking that you know they might get hungry during meditation so if they eat before it sort of solves the problem. Well no it doesn't because you end up potentially falling asleep. Your meditation isn't as good because your body is spending half its energy digesting the food so don't eat just before meditation and number five or number four I can't remember is to make sure that you don't fall asleep when you meditate. So you've just meditated if you then fall asleep then that's kind of you would then need to start again when you wake up because the goal of meditation is to become self-aware and to disconnect yourself from that mind chatter right so let's say if you've just meditated you're in this nice peaceful state of being serene and awake and aware and if you then fall asleep or if you fall asleep during the meditation as well then when you wake up your brain is going to start from scratch again your brain maybe you've just had a dream a nightmare even and then your brain has to start again and it's like it kind of wastes the time so that's several things that you should never do during meditation or things you should not do after meditation.
