Strategy 1: Stop Blindly Follow Gurus

Here is a LIFE CHANGING FACT:

A 1992 study found that 62% of participating meditators experienced adverse effects. 7.4% experienced profoundly adverse effects.* A 2018 article in Vice magazine confirms this… and provides example after example of people experiencing terrible side effects from meditation.

Some of the side effects include:

• Emotional Stress
• Confusion
• Disorientation
• Anxiety

The Buddhists even have a name for these side effects. It is called “Falling Into the Pit of the Void.”

But what about all the hype?!?! The apps, the books, the gurus…

...The silicon valley execs meditating for hours on in.

...They can’t all be wrong?! Can they?

The truth is they are NOT, there is a ton of great research that supports meditation. Just check the meditation article in our blog.

And meditation may work GREAT for you...or it may NOT.

Same with just about every other “good” habit.

You just don’t know because WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT…

And you cannot live up to your potential by building habits that work for someone else

Seems simple, but many people miss this concept…

And blindly follow, fad after fad, or “guru” after “guru”.

You simply CANNOT do that.

It’s not that their information is bad.

You should just not BLINDLY follow it.

Meaning you MUST identify what works for you!!!
