Most of us breathe all day without ever really noticing a single breath.

Learning to pay attention to just one changes everything.In this episode, I walk through what meditation actually is, why it changed my life, and how you can start with something as simple as following a single breath. No incense, no beach photos, no magic bullet—just a practical way to teach your mind to stay in one place.What you’ll learn:•Why learning to meditate became one of the most pivotal changes in my life •How a single breath can become your whole focus (and why that matters) •The real goal of meditation (hint: it’s not “clearing your mind”) •What to do when you get distracted—without judgment or criticism •How meditation helps with addiction, overthinking, and everyday stress •A simple way to start a daily practice in just five minutesI came into meditation from a pretty rough place—fresh out of jail, addicted, and making life hard for myself and everyone around me. Over time, meditation helped me recognize my mind, focus it, and stop letting it run my life. It’s not instant peace and it’s not easy, but it is simple and it is worth it.Try this:Set a timer for five minutes. Follow one breath from the moment it hits your nose until the moment it leaves. When (not if) you get distracted, just notice it and come back to the breath. No drama, no judgment.Guided Meditation: https://youtu.be/rJYwcwS1_oI If you give this a shot, let me know how it went in the comments.
