Meditation is an investment in your wellbeing that pays dividends in improved performance, efficiency and effectiveness. But I get it, sometimes life gets busy, and if you don't already have a regular practice it can seem like one more to-do on the list.

So, this week I've got a quick but effective practice to get you calm and centred in 5 minutes. Give it a go in between meetings, while waiting, or whenever you have a few minutes spare.

Use this whenever you need, or make it the start of a regular practice, and see how your nervous system responds.

I had a minor setback in a project close to my heart this week and ended up catastrophising for a day or so before some kinds words from a friend reminded me that it wasn't actually the end of the world. It got me thinking about one of the core teachings from Buddhism which I've found so helpful in my life. Listen to this week's Happy Hour for my thoughts on pain and suffering (8 min listen)

As promised last week, this week I have a guided practice for you. Zen breath is an ancient but powerful technique to help you focus your mind on the present moment. I'll give you some guidance about how to sit and guide you through, but once you get the hang of it, you can do this one easily on your own.

Counting the breath isn't just a 'mind over matter' trick - it's a systematic way to hack your nervous system using biological feedback loops. This week on the Real Life Happy Hour I'm sharing four ways counting can quickly shift the nervous system to move you out of fight/flight/freeze and back to a calm, relaxed state, and some simple techniques you can use that only take a few minutes.

If you've tried forest sounds playlists, meditation apps, even classes and still find yourself stuck with 47 tabs open in your mind, or unable to sit still, you might not need another app. You might need personalised 1:1 meditation coaching to find the right practice for your brain and your life. This week on the Real Life Happy Hour, I'm sharing what makes meditation coaching different and how it can help get you meditating if apps and classes aren't for you.
