The number one habit to cure your internet addiction is meditation. If you do this habit
every day, you will enjoy a much fuller and rich life. I suspect you can guess this video is about
meditation, but keep watching till the end because this video reveals so much more than just meditation.
I used to come home from school and watch YouTube for the rest of my day. I would watch
YouTube all day every day. Then I started meditating, but I was not consistent. I would just do it
after the gym, after I was done working out. And on days where I didn't go to the gym, I didn't
meditate. But it wasn't until I saw Hamza video and on that video he said that you can actually
cure your internet addiction with meditation. But he also revealed that I had been doing it all
wrong this whole time. So in order to get the results from meditation, you must do it consistently.
And I realized that my old method of sporadically meditating after the gym was not working.
I didn't start being consistent at meditation until I added it to my morning routine. That's
what Hamza recommended. He said add it to your morning routine so then you're guaranteed to
do it every morning. Just follow the routine and then you'll make sure that you get the meditation
every single day. And that was my flaw. I didn't have it in my morning routine. It was at the gym
and on days I didn't go to the gym, I wasn't meditating. I connected the meditation with the gym.
But if you just meditate at your house or wherever you sleep, that is a guaranteed way
of getting consistent as long as you actually do it. I realized I needed to meditate in my room
if I wanted to be consistent. But my room had nowhere comfortable to meditate. So I did the
only rational thing I could think of. I bought a tatami mat, which is a mat made of rush grass
that the samurai slept on. Then I removed everything else from my room. The only thing in my room now
is my mat, a couple of fans, an alarm clock, and everything else is in my closet. I also wanted
to make it as dark as possible so I could sleep better and also so I could get dark meditations.
So I nailed blackout curtains over the window and my door. This keeps all of the light out and
makes my room pitch black whenever I want it to be. But I can also open the window if I want.
However, I found a lot more benefits to doing this to my room than just consistent meditation. My room
has nothing in it, so my mind reflects the emptiness more. When my room is empty, my mind is empty and
I found that I was able to focus a lot more and I didn't have as much distractions. I also sleep
on my tatami mat and after a short adjustment period to get used to the toughness of the mat,
I actually found that my sleep has radically improved. There are countless of secret benefits
to turning your room into a dojo as my dad likes to call it. The best benefit in my opinion is that
it is my space and I can be in solitude without distractions. If I were you, I would do exactly
what I did and completely remodel your room and make it optimal for meditation. But I know most
people are not going to want to do that, so I recommend buying a tatami mat or a straw mat
because these are made of non-toxic materials. I know most people are not going to want to
completely get rid of their bed and completely get rid of their dresser and all that stuff.
I know most people are going to want to keep all these things.
So what I would recommend you do is get a mat that you can sit on so you can meditate in your room.
A tatami mat is what I recommend. It's like $150 on Amazon, but if you don't want to spend that
much money, a straw mat is another thing I would recommend, maybe like $20 to $50 on Amazon.
And I recommend these because they're not made of toxic materials and I actually don't like
having toxic materials around me. And so if I'm going to be sleeping on something I want it to be
natural and not bad for my health. That's why I did not recommend a yoga mat because most yoga
mats are made of toxic materials that I would not want to touch. So go out and figure out how you
can remodel your room or at the very least add in meditation to your routine and make it as simple
as possible for you. Make it as easy as possible by just getting a meditation mat so you can have
a spot to meditate every single day.
