re: Meditation / Mental Health - Tips to Start

Getting outside, exercising, self-care, tech fasts are definitely all important and excellent practices. I do think that meditation/mindfulness offers something different. I know it’s not for everyone, but there are enough people (often high performers) from all walks of life that practice some form of meditation, that I feel there are some additional, unique benefits. Specifically; divergent and creative thinking, moving past myopically being trapped in current feelings, and creating the head space between stimulus and action.

I do think that you can learn those things in other ways, but meditation is a structured way of achieving them.
