Can we change our life experience?
By Lorraine Alexander
Americans have become accustomed to a stressful lifestyle. We know stress affects health, sleep, emotions and behavior. How can we change this pattern?
There is a quote by Charles R. Swindoll "Life is 10 percent what happens to you, and 90 percent how you react to it." Have you ever noticed that people often react to the same stressors quite differently? While one person is deeply affected by a stressful event, another may take it in stride. Why? The answer is simple. Some of us have found our way back to that place of balance.

In a recent interview, Cher used a valued quote given to her by her mother..."If it doesn't matter in five years -- it doesn't matter."
Finding Your Balance
Balance begins within - it begins with our attitude and how we perceive life. If you are naturally optimistic, life will seem fair and balanced - and for the most part, you'll be happy. What if this optimism doesn't come naturally - how can we get there?

Meditation is precious tool that helps to improve emotions, behavior, memory, and health. Through meditation, we gain perspective and objectivity. Regular practice can create inner balance, which in turn improves our reaction to stress, and naturally moves us from a reactive pattern to a proactive pattern. This allows the individual to be solution driven, and to take action in the most productive manner. In the end, we can create a more positive life experience through meditation; for it is the ultimate path to balance, happiness, and a more joyful life.
