Today I learned - Meditation

Today I learned..
How to calm myself down with meditation with a few wellness tracks my school offers. The idea is simple enough, you get in a comfortable posture, relax and focus on your bodily sensations. It is harder than it sounds because the first few times I did it - I noticed I often got distracted and had to try and regain focus. But listening to a track with calm ocean waves, waves crashing on the surface, and water helped me relax today.

I have a bit of a dental phobia. I tend to flip out when I have to go to the dentist.. but as of late I've been trying to address my phobia, and today I learned.. meditation works for me.

Could it work for you? Give it a try, just don't try at night when you're getting ready for bed.. you just might fall asleep. ;P

Go Aggies?

  1. Today I learned, Lamborghini used to make tractors before making luxury sportscars. Apparently the story goes like this,

    "When Lamborghini discovered that the clutch on his Ferrari was broken, and actually was the same clutch that he used on his tractors, Lamborghini went to Ferrari and asked for a better replacement. Ferrari responded, saying that he was just a tractor maker, and could not know anything about sports cars.."
    .. from wikipedia

    So Lamborghini decide to make a better and perfect vehicle himself.

    1. In a similar vein.. I remember reading how scientists figured out how to fix nitrogen in the soil. It was a huge moment for the human population on top of advances in medical practices and technology that later helped human populations grow worldwide.
