Of course, it does take practice and work - but it doesn't have to take hours. Even a few minutes a day, or a couple of times a week. I mean, I did some last night, and I think it was maybe for 5 minutes. Brett Legree’s last blog post..week 2 - check up.

@Brett I've been reading a few books on the subject, about using meditation to gain "Mindfulness" to fight stress. Doctors at stress clinics have been using it on patients with anxiety and chronic pain and heart problems...it's well documented, it really works, and it's turned patients life around. The downside is...like anything worth doing, ..it takes a lot of WORK. Practice and discipline...I haven't yet made the committment to set aside all those hours a week to do the thought-excercises. (I probably SHOULD, though). Friar’s last blog post..World Class…or World ASS?

Meditation really works. I try and do it about once a week (usually Friday evenings) and the times I've missed doing it, I don't feel right. It is kind of funny... I plan to expand it to more sessions per week and eventually daily. Brett Legree’s last blog post..week 2 - check up.
