Are you trolling or this retarded?

Meditation is essentially the same as losing yourself in work you love. When you are doing something you love, you are basically meditating.

It's all about maximizing your ability to focus by being impervious to any and all distractions.

By purposely putting yourself in a careless and peaceful state on a regular basis you will gain the ability to recognize that state of mind where distraction and any form of hindering thoughts will be less and less frequent, increasing your over all ability to focus.

That's all meditation is. It's a mental exercise to assist you in your desire to be 100% of yourself at all times, without the influence of anything that can be classified as external.

Now you can use traditional meditation to assist your desire to be more focused, which can be as tedious as exercise...Or you can just always make sure you are doing something you love to do at any given moment.

Personally though I only use meditation when I'm beginning to get annoyed with everything around me, calms me down.

After that just give me a cup of coffee and I'm excited for whatever I feel like putting in front of me. It could be a text book or anything and I'm off learning at my own desired pace without it feeling like a race, soaking it all in and maximizing the entire experience.
