Motivation For Life

Motivation is very important to desire certain goals in your life. I am not going to lie and say I meditate every day or really even on a set schedule, however, when I set aside time to sit quietly and do nothing, shifts happen in my life. The practice seems to reduce the grey matter density in areas of the brain related to anxiety and stress.

In recent decades, mindfulness meditation has taken the Western world by storm. Once Halloween hits, it's off to the holiday races, so it's important to keep our crazy brains in check — to keep our minds strong — so that we can sustain balance and remain steady amongst the flurry of year-end activities.

Mindfulness inductions, relative to comparison conditions, reduced motivation to tackle mundane tasks (Experiments 1-4) and pleasant tasks (Experiment 2). Decreased future focus and decreased arousal serially mediated the demotivating effect of mindfulness (Experiments 3 and 4). In contrast to changes in motivation, inducing a state of mindfulness did not affect task performance, as seen in all experiments but one (Experiments 2-5).

In fact, one in seven people in the U.S. reports taking part in a mindfulness practice on their own or through their work. By training your brain to be focused music no matter what, through failure, through diversion, through our over-stimulated world's buffet of distraction, meditation makes anything possible.

People who work out or who train for long-distance running (a grueling task) have what they commonly refer to as power music”—their personal selection of certain songs or music tracks that instantly picks them up when they're feeling not a hundred percent up to it. As one of the foremost self motivation techniques, music is high up there among the most sought-after pick me up” solutions.
