We struck a deal with another Greek social network in the eraly 2000s and were featured in the "Omogeneia" newspaper based out of New York City.
Consider this, meditation is not a magic spell. It’s not meant to make all your troubles go away. In its right approach, meditation is here to help you face circumstances in a better or at least more detached fashion. And public transportation can definitely use this kind of perspective, right? Besides, rather than staring blankly at your smartphone like everyone else in the metro, trying to refresh—over a flaky network—your (anxiety-inducing) newsfeed or (comparison-inducing aka thief of joy) social media feed, why not use this forced downtime to unwind and meditate?
If you are already versed in meditation you can probably do it on the spot. Now, if you need a little push, you can consider using a book and even some music to block out the background noise. And for smartphone enthusiasts that really can’t do without their technology fill during their commute, why not switch news or social app habits for a meditation app? There are countless trustworthy candidates out there which are certain to put you on the right track for relaxation, whether they consist of podcasts, guided meditations, breathing techniques, it’s up to you to find what works best for you.
And, last but not least, remember that a little goes a long way. Even if you start a meditation routine, on public transportation or anywhere else for that matter, with just five minutes daily, consider it a start—pat yourself on the shoulder for it, and look at it as a step towards caring better for yourself. Don’t push yourself when it comes to meditation, this would be going against all the benefits it’s supposed to bring your way.
