The Impact of Meditating Every Day
I had always had some kind of anxiety or ocd for as long as I can remember. I&#x27;d searched for various ways to deal with it but only discovering meditation really worked for me.<p>After meditating for 6 months every day (starting with 5 minutes daily, ending with 20-30) I&#x27;ve completely got rid of it. A nice side effect was that I got to be a happier person overall (though that wasn&#x27;t ever a problem for me), and learned to deal with any kind of stress whatsoever.<p>I&#x27;ll happily recommend the, oh so often mentioned on hn, book &quot;the mind illuminated&quot; it really is great to start with: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Mind-Illuminated-Meditation-Integrating-Mindfulness-ebook&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B01INMZKAQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Mind-Illuminated-Meditation-Integrati...</a><p>Recently I haven&#x27;t been meditating as much as I&#x27;d like to unfortunately (I&#x27;m trying to get back to it), but the effects are lasting nevertheless. And I still know how to calm myself in a matter of minutes or get more distanced to the situation.
