10. The daily ritual of meditation can train your mind to be more aware.
It’s no secret that meditation can be as important to your mental health as going to the gym is for your physical health. Mindful meditation is a type of ritual that can help you be more aware and more effective in your everyday activities. Simple things like focusing on the sensation of your breathing (not just thinking about your breath) help you train your mind to refocus when other thoughts or moments of negativity distract you.
