Simple meditation technique may make you happier

10-happier

OK, don’t freak out. This is about meditation, but it isn’t going to be about some mystical, New Agey, touchy-feely silliness with incense and chanting.

Instead, this is a simple, easy way to give yourself a little bit of “me time” when you need it. It might come in handy after a long day on the road. You might even be able to do it while you wait to load or unload.

Dan Harris is a former TV newsman who offers some insights on taking better care of yourself in his book, 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works — A True Story.

Of course, Harris is trying to sell books and his “how to” course, but this video offers some insights and a quick lesson on how you can meditate, relax and be happier in a truly practical way.
