Dr. Singh compares unprocessed thoughts to undigested food: they pile up and cause stress. He recommends 5 to 10 minutes of daily meditation where you watch your thoughts without judging them. Mental digestion takes about two weeks to show results.
So what happens when you eat more than you can digest? You get a bad stomach, right? You get a bloat. Now, when you have more thoughts in your head, in your mind, than you can process them or you can digest them, that leads to— has to lead to stress or anxiety. There's no other way around that. So what can you do, right? The thing is, you know, the modern lifestyle has got us so busy that we are always on the run, always on the go. That we forgot to sit with ourselves, to have the me time away from everything. So that's where the meditation come into play. When you sit just with yourself, let those thoughts have a proper outlet. Let them get digested in your brain. There's no other way around that. You have to sit. I mean, one thing is you can stop the flow of information, which also help. There's too much information, right? Control the inlet of thoughts. I don't know how much we can control that, but if we can do that, keep some time aside, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, anywhere, right? Start sitting with yourself. Just look at those thoughts, observe them. They will get digested. It won't happen first day, won't happen seventh day. It will happen day 15th. It has to happen. All right guys, I'll see you later with the next part of the series. Stay tuned.
