We have SOOOO many distractions today and so many commitments that we take on as we feel obligated to in order to achieve success. Living this way creates a constant state of excitement that doesn’t allow for downtime without guilt. Staying busy all the time creates mental burnout. 

Many studies have shown that meditation improves our physical health by reducing stress and increasing the quality of sleep, emotional and spiritual well-being, lengthens attention span, can reduce/control pain, and the increased ability to cope with things that come your way.
