Are You Addicted to Being Busy?

Do you take great pride in being busy? Checking things off a to-do list makes you happy (even if it’s not your to-do list). When’s the last time you took some time to calm your mind? Or as Reverend Michael Beckwith says, “replace ‘don’t just sit there, do something’ with “don’t just do something, sit there.’” There’s tons of research about the positive effects of meditation including a study out of Johns Hopkins University demonstrating how meditation can significantly improve anxiety. Whether you’re trying to reduce pain, slow the aging process, or boost your cognitive abilities, meditation can help. Find the style that works for you. It might just change your life.
