Tim Ferriss' 5-minute Meditation Strategy Choose one song (4-5 minutes long) Sit on a cushion with back against the wall Breathe deeply and slowly Inhalation = visualize vibrant green air Exhalation = visualize grey air (stress and anxiety) During inhalation, focus on all of the things you’re grateful for in life (family, friends, significant other, career opportunities, roof over your head, etc) Repeat to yourself... “I have everything I need and I have plenty of time” over and over until it sinks in and anxiety lifts Words of Tim Wisdom (Bonus): “Do not measure the success of your meditation based on your ability to control your thoughts during the meditation session itself. Instead, measure it by how you feel for the rest of the day.” Don't forget! Join my e-mail list and get free downloads below!
