81: How 5 Minutes Of Daily Meditation Have Improved My Life (Archive)

Have you ever considered the practice of meditation? If, like me, you once dismissed it as a rather dull pursuit, I understand. However, after growing weary of endless YouTube recommendations, I decided to embark on a week-long experiment, committing to daily meditation sessions.

Surprisingly, within just a week, I began to observe noteworthy positive changes in various aspects of my life. Now, over a year later, I engage in a daily meditation routine, dedicating a mere 5 minutes to this mindful practice.
