Santa Clara Meditation Self Improvement Tips – What’s the best brain hack you know?

I am not a neuroscientist, but an ordinary housewife in my mid-40s, and I would like to introduce you to the things I practice every day in my life.

  1. Drink your morning coffee.

When I wake up in the morning, I drink my morning coffee. I start my day leisurely while watching BBC news and news about the Corona situation in Korea. I love this time of the day the most.

  1. Be sure to walk for an hour a day.

If you walk an hour, that’s 10,000 steps. Sometimes I go to the bank or go shopping without getting in the car on purpose. On days when there is no need to go to the bank or buy anything, choose a walking course and walk on flat ground while feeling the weather. As you walk, you can hear the sound of the wind, and hear the chirping of geese flying far south, giving you a sense of the seasons. I am happy to be able to walk on two strong legs.

  1. I do not spend unnecessary money.

As a housewife who has been married for 15 years, I always try to reduce unnecessary consumption. If you have a lot of stuff in your house, you always have to put your energy into organizing them. And above all else, the house was cluttered and I couldn’t concentrate on my thoughts. So, I buy only the essentials and clean up the garbage right away. If I consume something that does not fit the level, I feel anxious.

  1. Make a note of what to do today

When you make an appointment while talking on the phone with a friend, you immediately write a note in your cell phone diary. Dental appointments and special lecture dates for children’s art classes are all taken down. And in the morning, I look at my diary, check the promises I have to keep today, and write them down in my notebook. And I have a few things to do today. And each time a mission is completed, it is marked with a single line. I am so proud of myself on the day I completed my mission.

  1. I do a team project.

I have the most honorable job as a mother of two. And a side job is teaching meditation in a middle school. I love this job, a meditation teacher. I am so proud to be able to play such a small role because not only the children I give birth to but also the children in the community need to be looked after by someone. I work with meditation teachers like me and have an idea meeting for a good class at least once a week. It is not easy to get together with colleagues to gather opinions and come to a single conclusion. Sometimes we fight. Sometimes we ignore other people’s suggestions. That’s why we get hurt. But with the heart of building a house, we put our best efforts to provide good classes to children. After I and my fellow teachers’ experience of coexisting with, I can approach students confidently. We practice happy coexistence and happy life through team projects.

  1. Before going to bed, I meditate to reflect on the day.

We store everything we see, hear, and experience in our brains every single day. Imagine having a lot of these thoughts stored every day. And we put more information and videos into our heads these days. So I meditate for an hour before going to bed and throw away unnecessary thoughts. Meditation helps intuition be awakened. And accurate judgments can be made only when we look back on the countless thoughts we had during the day and throw them away.
