What meditation changed for me

I started meditating in 2018 and it transformed my life:

The way I eat, the way I sleep, the way I create. I no longer have the same friends, the same habits, the same goals. My anxieties have changed too.

The main breakthrough:

I realized that many aspects of my life that I took for immutable realities were actually... thoughts.

As if I had lived forty years inside my head and meditation was the first moment I glimpsed the world without filters. (Or let's say: with fewer filters.)

You realize that identity, problems, the future (...) are mental constructions that you can choose to nurture or let go of.

You understand that the external world reflects the internal world and that's where it all happens.

You learn to turn down the volume of that little voice in your head that criticizes everything. Sometimes you can even turn it off completely.

And I promise you, it takes a weight off your shoulders.
