It’s been a few years since I have been grappling with unfulfilled life, especially around my career life. As a result, I suffered from anxiety and was unable to totally focus on anything. After some debilitating panic attacks and ‘feeling like a zombie for weeks at work, I eventually quit my job and immediately joined Gaborone Meditation Centre for some guided meditation. I made a commitment to meditate daily and diligently because every personal development book and research study that I have come across have all pointed out the wonders of meditation; how it helps in improving one’s mental and physical health, increases empathy/kindness levels, boosts problem-solving and decision-making skills, reduces stress levels, increases focus and many more.
To tell the truth, didn’t even know that I was suffering from Anxiety because I felt like ‘myself’. I was so used to living in fear and worry that it became who I was. My meditation guides were very sincere and showed me how I can completely eliminate the false mind and live a truly happy life. One day, after a few weeks of diligent meditation, I felt very calm, present, had more energy, and could control my thoughts, this is when I realized that I was getting enlightened! Within 5 weeks I had completely thrown away all my anxious mind.
So, ever since I have started and committed to daily meditation, my life has completely turned around! I’m now a better wife to my husband, a more present mother to my kids, and have meaningful relationships. I have found happiness and great joy in life! I no longer concentrate on negative thoughts; I practice mindfulness throughout the day and most of all I’m full of gratitude!
I now know I am on the right journey to find the meaning and purpose of life.
Thank you, Gaborone Meditation Centre, for your sincere guidance and support!
