Too much stress? You need a simple stress meditation. Of course, learning to meditate might intimidate you, and it's tough to find the time for daily meditation. A solution to both problems is a meditation you can learn right now, that will take a minute to do each day.
An Easy Stress Meditation
When you breath through your mouth, it expands your chest. Breath through your nose and you'll notice how your abdomen extends. Nose-breathing causes the diaphram to pull air to the bottom of your lungs. This delivers a good dose of oxygen into your bloodstream and brain, and it also tends to relax you. Breathing through your nose is healthier, and it's the basis of this one-minute meditation.
Here's how you do it. Close your eyes, sigh, and let the tension go out of your muscles. It may help to tense up your muscles first, then release that tension. Then let go of your thoughts, as much as possible, and take four or five slow, deep breaths through your nose, paying attention to your breathing.
Can Meditation Be This Easy?
The short answer is yes. No, it's not likely to put you into a deep meditative state with this simple stress meditation. However, you will get benefits, including a clearer mind and a reduction in stress.
It helps to develop a "trigger" for your meditation. For example, do your four breaths when you get into the car, or right after lunch each day. These triggers are places or times that remind you, so your meditation becomes a habit.
You can say this isn't "real" meditation, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying the relaxation you'll get from this technique. If you want, you can always pursue deeper meditation later. Meanwhile, remember that not everything has to be difficult to be of value. Why not try this easy one-minute stress meditation?
As an entrepreneur, one thing that you should realize is that the world never stays the same. You are, for the most part, always going to find some changes happening. As a business owner, if you cannot adjust your business to those changes, you may find yourself facing more problems than benefits.

It is very important to continue to take risks in life. To stop taking risks means to stand still in life. Standing still in life is one of the main causes of depression. These are usually the people afraid to confront the boss and tell him that they demand a raise; they are the ones that allow life to pass them by out of fear. The entire purpose of fear is to stop you from taking a risk.

The Baby Boomers Brain
Learning is one of the very best things you can do to your brain. As you age, many stop doing new things and looking for new areas of the world to explore. That is what starts the shut down of the brain. Because you aren't using it as much, especially for new things, you aren't making it function as much as it needs to.
When you keep your brain functioning, you encourage it to continue to be active. On the other hand, if you don't, you lose the necessary functions that you need.

Top Reasons For Starting Your Very Own Home Business
More and more, working at home isn't a choice, it's a necessity. While there are lots of people who hate their jobs and would rather struggle independently than bend under the whip of an overseer, there are just as many who loved their jobs and were good and valued employees. None of that matters when your company is the victim of a hostile takeover or your boss decides to outsource your job to a temp agency or another country. You can be out of a job through no fault of your own and absolutely unable to find another job no matter how hard you try. It happens all the time. In that case, you may find yourself very motivated to work at home so that your life cannot be thrown into a shambles on the whim of another.
