Meditation is good to calm the mind. It is good to balance the other chakras too which I will explain in later articles. For now we are focusing on the Root chakra. Also to is important to heal this chakra by eliminating any stress related problems related to finance and trying hard to impress others. Make yourself a priority. Others can look after themselves. For now you are the life and soul of your body. Focus all your energy on you!
Do positive things throughout the day such as dancing, playing your favourite sport. Getting out in nature is especially good. Breath in the natural air and listen to your favourite music which is positive. Go out and interact with like-minded people that have a optimistic view on life and try to have a balanced laid back lifestyle.
If you have a lot of responsibilities try and set a plan and ask for some help. The important thing to remember is be yourself! Learn to say no if you are being pressured into doing things you may not want to do.
