Meditation started as an ancient practice, but the positive, scientifically proven benefits are very applicable to our modern world. Those who meditate are less anxious, less depressed, and more tolerant. They’re also more self-aware, have better memories, and are keener on goal setting. Meditation also increases the gray matter in your brain, makes you more empathetic, and ups your pain tolerance. Meditation is similar to a cure-all pill, but with no negative side effects. So if you haven’t tried it, meditate for a bit, it will make you a better person—that’s a fact.
