UE #5: How meditation can help build emotional intelligence (includes a 10 minute guided meditation)
Always wanted to learn meditation, but weren't sure how exactly it helps? In this episode, I explain how meditation can help specifically with emotional intelligence. I've made this episode keeping someone who has little to no meditation experience in mind. I hope this episode helps clear some misconceptions of meditation, and adds clarity to what it's all about. And to top it all off, there is a bonus 10 minute guided meditation at the end.These are the following apps I recommend to establish a practice: headspace, waking up, and ten percent happier. Give a try to all, and see what suits you the best.Enjoy, and let me know what you think in the feedback form. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
