Meditation

Many successful CEOs build time into their day to meditate, including Oprah Winfrey.

In an interview, Oprah described meditation as “one of the most life-enhancing things I ever did.”

Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey have also said they are fans of the practice, which allows you to slow down and focus your mind.

Even five minutes of meditation a day could help you to improve concentration and reduce stress.

For meditation beginners, Mr Eék said: “A good place to start when trying to become more mindful is to try meditating.

“Take a few minutes to focus on your breathing. As you breathe in, concentrate on your senses – what you smell, what you feel – and as you breathe out, focus on being – if your mind starts to wander, bring it back and focus on your breath.

“Now you’re allowed to sit in the parks, if you feel comfortable in doing so, then do your meditation there. Notice the birds chirping and the dogs barking, or take in the smell of the grass.

“These small moments with nature can allow you to feel truly joyful.”
