In this episode I talk about how I FINALLY started a meditation practice. I had LOTS of stories about what meditation should be like, and I let all of them get in the way of doing something that really helps me. It helps me do good work and I have no doubt it helps me feel better. It involved prompts from my coach at the time, Joel Monk. It involved really seeing the power of meditation for my work. And it involved learning from Tim Ferriss that the rep of meditation is bringing your attention back - that stopped me beating myself up so much and let me get on with practising. 

I said I would link to a few things:

- The draft preview edition of my book, The Power to Choose, which I referenced in this episode: https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2020/3/23/why-am-i-sharing-parts-of-my-forthcoming-book-the-power-to-choose

- The centring practice Joel shared with me: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17qaZ0ppfjreNMbitd8v3Q7Yj7MRG8rsR/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111629218231061519133&rtpof=true&sd=true

About the 12-Minute Method Podcast: In this podcast, I (leadership coach and author Robbie Swale) investigate why we sometimes don't do the things that deep down we really want to do. In each episode of season 1, I am going to reflect on a time in my life where I have beaten procrastination, become more productive and finally done something important to me, hoping that by doing this I will learn more about what it really takes to go from wanting to do something (but not doing it) to getting it done. And hoping that whatever you take away from each episode might help you get your idea off the ground and out into the world.
