Investing & Meditation. My true short story:
I come from a Buddhist family. 2 of my aunts were ordained as Nuns in their early 20s. That's how deep and serious this runs in my home.
I was taught how to meditate at age 4. Focus on breathing. Watch my thoughts.
I hated it.

I hated it.
As a kid, I couldn't sit still. I had a "monkey mind" as they called it.
The adults kept encouraging me to meditate. But I was a rebellious teen.
Fast forward to today, I have been meditating without fail for almost 15 mins every morning. Since Jan 2019.
What changed?

Fast forward to today, I have been meditating without fail for almost 15 mins every morning. Since Jan 2019.
What changed?
I started investing more seriously.
Started putting more of my money into high growth stocks, and the volatility and draw downs made me realize how weak and frantic my mind was.
Out of panic, I started meditating seriously to learn how to center myself.
What's the lesson?

What's the lesson?
Nothing much actually. Just wanted to share this.
Today, I'm a better investor because I'm a meditator.
And I'm a better meditator because I'm an investor.
End of story 🙏
