10% Happier – A Meditation Course for Fidgety Skeptics: Giveaway
September 29, 2015 1 Comment
Dan Harris, co-anchor of Nightline, found a mindful way to defang the critical voice in his head.
I think all of you know that voice – I call mine the “Birdman” – after the Academy Award Winning movie about an actor trying to make a comeback on Broadway. My Birdman follows me around and says things like,
“Why did you DO that? You are so stupid.”
“Why is she wearing those pants?”
“My child is a monster!!!”
and most often –
“You can’t do anything right.”
This very critical voice gets in the way of your happiness because it is always trying to take you down a couple notches. That voice keeps you out of the moment – either in the past or the future – always worrying.
Dan Harris found that meditation allowed him to free himself from his Birdman (the critical voice in his head) and get some distance – and he became 10% happier (which is setting your expectations kinda low if you ask me).
He created a Meditation Course with Joshua Goldstein, a leading American mediation teacher to teach us how to practice.
Here is his pitch on why mediation will help:
10% Happier is two weeks long and features short daily video lessons and guided mediations on an iPhone. The course features a live coach to help you with your questions and prompt you when you get too busy.
Unlike other apps where you are on your own, Change Collective gives you contact with an actual person to support you and answer your questions and complete the course.
My live coach texted with me about my experience – and got me back to the videos when life got too busy to attempt to meditate. I couldn’t believe how hard it was to find 10 minutes per day but when I did – I felt a shift.
The guided meditations allow you to watch your thoughts without becoming attached to them and you feel much calmer and in control after the 6-10 minutes you spend seating comfortably and concentrating on your breath and observing your thoughts.
