“An exciting plan is built on a foundation of daily disciplines.” -Nate Rifkin
Often, when we are faced with problems, the first thing we do is find a solution. But what if, instead of finding out what to do, we do nothing at all? Problems cause us stress and looking for an answer gives us additional stress, which is not so productive in any way. We’re not saying it’s better to mope all day and just give up. We’re saying, what if we stop for a moment and reset before we continue on?
Meditation is a technique that has helped many to unravel the crowd of thoughts that clouds their mind. But is this ancient practice still effective in this contemporary world?

Ted and Nate also discuss where to start with meditation and important points to ponder as you set new goals, install new habits, and handle adversities.
