Comment on: The Importance of Meditation

For a long time, the first thing I would do when I got to the office is check cnn.com, completely unaware of how that influenced my mindset. I just thought I was informing myself. The news about war, catastrophe, etc. made me pretty angry and depressed, and you're right, that was my foundation for the entire day--not very constructive! I've since adjusted my morning routine accordingly, and it has been a positive experience. I noted too that reading "progressive" news was just as minus, if not more so, than mainstream media, especially if you empathize deeply with all the injustice that surrounds us. Of course I still desire the information, but I won't start or end my day that way anymore.

Thanks for sharing your insight!
