YOUVE NO DOUBT heard about the scientifically proven benefits of meditation. The practice has been shown to lower blood pressure, improve athletic performance, enhance relationships, and even help grow new brain cells.

All that said, youre an active guy with an active mind. You might think you dont have time to meditate. You might think you cant meditate.

But what if most things you thought you knew about meditation werent true? What if you didnt have to practice for all that long? What if you didnt have to sit to meditate?

And what if meditation was actually ... easy?

Welcome to our 30-Day Meditation Challenge, which will bust all the myths about what qualifies as meditation.

The biggest myth about meditation is that you have to quiet your mind. You cant stop thoughts. Instead, effective meditation is about creating the conditions necessary to help your mind calm and your thoughts to slow.

And you dont have to go anywhere to meditate. You can meditate right where you are while doing ordinary things you do all day long. Plus, if you already exercise, you can make meditation part of your regular fitness plan.
