5 Reasons Why Affiliate Marketers Should Meditate
Long story short? My own meditation journey started when I was 16 years old... I am now 25.
Without missing a beat, I have meditated every single day for the past 9 years...
Today, I am more convinced than ever that you, my fellow affiliate marketers, are those who could benefit the MOST from this daily discipline.
Here are 5 reasons I personally believe affiliates should adopt a meditation practice:
#1 Affiliate Marketing Requires Intense FOCUS...
Sitting down and forcing yourself to stare at a computer screen for hours each day can be mentally taxing.
Wouldn't it make sense then, to replenish your focus and recharge your mental battery?
Well guess what... Meditation does exactly that!
Numerous high-profile studies of have PROVEN that meditation thickens the neo cortex, which in turn increases focus and brain function.
(A thicker neo cortex = more focus on your website)
#2 Affiliates Are Often Under Stress...
The most popular benefit of meditation is that it helps bring down stress levels.
Let's face it- running an online business can be stressful, particularly when you're still early on in the process.
In my opinion, ONE 20-minute session of meditation is more useful (in terms of stress-reduction) than an entire vacation.
THAT is how powerful meditation is when you learn to harness it correctly.
#3 Meditation Gets You Into The FLOW State...
Any affiliate marketer can tell you they're MOST productive when they're in a state of flow.
As a matter of fact, almost all acts of "genius" are executed in a state of flow.
I personally consider it a human superpower to be able to tap into the state of flow at will.
How do you learn to tap into this unimaginably powerful state?
You guess it: MEDITATION.
#4 Meditation Sharpens Your Decision Making...
Without question, meditation clears your head like nothing else.
At any given point in our day, we have dozens of distracting thoughts floating around our minds.
When we learn the skill of meditation to clear the mind, decision making become 10X easier!
When we have a clear head, the pros and cons of each and every decision we make suddenly becomes abundantly clear.
In affiliate marketing, a level-head in combination with a sharp ability to decide clearly and concisely will skyrocket you to success.
#5 Affiliate Marketing Rewards The Act of Heightened Creativity...
Lastly, and perhaps the most powerful concept of all, is meditation's effect on creativity.
When your mind is clear and you're in an undisrupted state of flow, your creativity EXPLODES.
When you commit to letting your mind flow, and you watch that train of thoughts, you'd be amazed by where your mind will take you.
Never forget... Skills are weapons, and creativity is the most potent weapon of all.
If you can break into your MASSIVE reservoir of creativity using meditation, no one will be able to beat you.
Consciously develop your creativity through meditation and I promise you will be untouchable as an Affiliate Marketer.

I agree Koda, I meditate every morning to set me up for the day, with an occasional burst later in the day for an extra boost.
Linda, I'm glad you're able to get something useful out of it! I couldn't imagine starting my day WITHOUT doing it! :D

Does make a major difference, to outlook and focus.
Doctors are encouraging people to meditate here too especially cancer patients as it can make a difference to the outcome.
Very interesting! Although it doesn't surprise me... The more studies that are done on meditation, the more information supporting well being (physical and mental) there seems to be!
At our hospital they have a wellbeing centre for patients to chat to each other, have massages and discover other wellbeing practices, including mefitation, that can help.
I think that's a great thing for a hospital to incorporate into its treatment plan. Have you heard about mindfulness? I find this practical day to day approach to be quite easy to put into practice consistently when I'm not directly meditating.
Yes, mindfulness is very important I think. Gratitude too on a daily basis makes a big difference. I call it having "An attitude of Gratitude".
Practicing being grateful for what you have already is also a valuable skill ( : Being grateful is the fastest way to become rich!

Brilliant post Xoda. All of it so true. I meditate in phases; binge a bit; abstain a bit; but when I do I feel and perform so much better.
Helps with your self image, fear management, inspiration and lots lots more.
Thanks for posting this. A really good one.

Absolutely, Anne! It certainly helps mold your self image in a positive way. It is one of the best activities I could recommend to ANYONE to incorporate into their daily routine, even if only for 5 minutes a day!
