Why Natalie decided to do this challenge: Because it's not quitting sugar, taking cold showers or waking up at 5am.
Sissa Bee cold showers aren’t bad in the slightest, you get used to them fairly quickly and it has to do more with mindset and embracing it then anything, once your mind adjusts, so does your body, quitting sugar would simply be monotonous because you have to be aware of everything you consume, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but just eat moderately healthy, and drink more water then usual, waking up at 5am every morning would eviscerate my soul, being sleep deprived doesn’t = productivity, my favorite part of your comment is it’s a throw back to Matt’s previous vids👌🏻
Sissa Bee nat is all of us
@@Infinite_exhilaration You know that you should go to bed 7-8 hours before 5am, right?
Fellow Templar Never once heard this, so did some research, the answer isn’t simple, their are many conflicting views, I believe we are supposed to sleep when the sun goes down, and wake, when it rises ☀️ without an ⏰ our body is entirely capable of waking up at the same time every day without an alarm it just takes practice. Lack of sleep greatly compromises our health and immensely lowers our productivity so getting those Zzz’s is absolutely vital, I am a total health nerd, because I genuinely care about my body, so I make it a priority to get 8 1/2’s of sleep every night, if you could link exactly where you discovered going 7-8 hrs of sleep before 5am is optimal, I would greatly appreciate it👌🏻
trust me quitting sugar, taking cold showers or waking up at 5am.. is WAY WAY easier than doing 1h of proper meditation, so much so that im pretty sure they did not do 1h of actual meditation.
it's not about stopping your thinking, just observing your thoughts without feeding into them.
@The Deathless that's common knowledge tho
It is not about stopping your thinking, but being able to do so if we choose to, can be very useful. Just as the body needs sleep, the mind also needs rest.
You steal my words
Ive had some crazy ass experiences meditating, ive hallucinated with my eyes open, ive talked to entities, Ive left my body, I killed somebody, Ive made love, even faced certain fears that I knew were there, from what ive learned we can rewire ourselves by just sitting and thinking you just have to find the right things to think about and really try to keep calm, my father abandoned me when I was young and whenever I think of him I get very angry and i didnt realise it was messing with me my whole life only until I started to meditate.
Charlie Day hmm sure
Me: stop thinking
Brain: thinking not to think
And then it’s think again

Yeah i can relate, try focusing on your breath, like how you inhale,exhale,the pause between complete inhale and exhale also play some calm soothing music behind. Hope it helps!!
Ya mean thinking not to think about thinking about thinking CONFUSED
" No thoughts , stop thinking "
That's not meditation unfortunately.
It's the common idea that meditation is to stop thinking , stop all thoughts .
But it's not meditation.
Meditation is simply about keeping your awareness on any one thing.
And *allowing your thoughts to flow* and not to block the thoughts.
Just be aware you are getting thoughts .
Be aware of how you feel ,
Be aware of the breath
Be aware of how your body is reacting .
I hope this helps people who are "meditating" the wrong way .
Thanks man but I already know about it but I want to thank you because you helping others ..good
@@fkinndarapper9 One small little good change at a time might help a lot. i hope I can do that little good changes to people.
Your welcome brother :)
@@Hari2897 just asking man, what's the purpose of life if one has to to die. Who gave it. Why one have no right to die on his own. Really messed.
@@dhruvgarg4236 The best part about life is death.., Think about it , if you were given immortality , the meaning of life would be lost. Why would you work for anything at all? And imagine the amount of bad memories you will be carrying. It would be a no escape anywhere. Life is finite thats what makes it beautiful in my opinion. If no death were there, our planet wouldnt be able to sustain itself first and it would just be a really sad boring long pointless thing. Atleast with a limited life span we can achieve things we like. Imagine no end. We would never ever be satisfied no matter the accomplishment.
@@Hari2897 I agree on that thing, But if everything is eternal, everything has to end/die then whats the purpose of living life. I mean Why this cycle of birth death evolves. why it is created.
Why there is no destination but a journey. Why everyone is working hard like a machine (can be gym/study/passion/ kids etc.)daily even after knowing that one day they have to die.

A little tip for those who can't "stop thinking" when meditating, just focus on your heart beat and try to feel your blood flow through your veins. It helped me allot, and i hope it does the same for whoever's reading this
Thanks for the tip man, i just started and this really help. If you have any other tips this will help me immensily
unknown unknown right after yoga I would hit savasana and just listen to my breathing. Thoughts would roll but that was the best part i.e. hitting savasana. Within a week listening to my breath and bringing my focus back after my thoughts rolled . I would journal down those thoughts . Within a month I became a calmer person and everyone would ask how did I change ? It was for the better !! Trust me any form of meditation like cooking grooming doing ur work with utter concentration and without any thoughts is sheer joyful ness of meditation. Namaste
Thanks a lot man! Nothing has changed...
Is it easier than focusing on yourself breathing or basiclly just the flow of it
unknown unknown how tfcdo you feel your blood flow
My friend it's good to do 10 minutes a day than 1 hr during the beginning stages to see the impact. Once you realize that 10 minutes is effective you will want to do more. Remember it's not how long you meditate, but the quality of your meditation. Wish you luck.
Thanks man
What are you to think about when meditating?
For me, you cannot qualify meditation. Consistency is the key even of its 10 to 15 mins a day.
true
Advice that has most helped me: Become an observer of your thoughts without judgment. Acknowledge them, accept them, let them pass. Don’t fight them. 🌻
That's what meditation means. It is observation from many different frame of references. 😊
Thats what everyone says but is quite harder in practice.
LVS I think it’s quite beneficial, and relieves the pressure of the situation. Many times people give up on meditation because they get so frustrated with not being able to clear their mind completely. It can be a snowball effect. They think they have failed. It’s beneficial to be told that their perceived failure isn’t failure at all.
xo xo Right, but those just starting out come in with expectations of what they think meditation should be, and it can put a bad taste in their mouth when they don’t live up to that expectation.
I often fall asleep A LOT when I meditate. I was very frustrated with it because I thought I did all that for nothing, the guided meditations I'm so fond of. I pressed on anyway though & I found that I was going into a state of mind where I wasn't really asleep. It was weird because, especially with the healing meditations, I found that I, undoubtedly, was getting healed! Somehow I'm certain I was never dreaming in these instances. 🤷🏼♀️ It's like a whole new world has opened up to me & it's something I want for everyone to experience. 💛🌈🌐 Wishing blessings for you all! 💙

I started meditating exactly like this - 60 mins a day, I never stopped. I do it everyday. It’s like I’m listening and watching as my brain dumps everything and expels junk thoughts. The key is not to get involved with the memories or materials - the point is to let them go because the only thing you have is now.
It has literally transformed me from a pessimistic adult child to a normal adult child with loads of imagination. I like this reality better.
Were you ever scared to meditate? I fear to get too deep into it or lost.
wow 60 min!
@@darazivkovic3158just be aware of those tought and feeling. Don’t judge.
Meditation is similar to body building. Takes time and effort to develop the mind muscle.
Why aren't more people sticking with meditation? Because it 's not a quick fix and takes practice!!

And you are a proof that maditation is not the answer to many things that the people think it works.
It's the same reason as with having a healthier lifestyle in general. Whether it's journaling, going to the gym, walking everyday, cleaning up your diet, learning that new skill you've been dying for ever.. We overweight current benefits while under weighting the long term consequences. When we finally lose that 10 pounds, we think, what is it that I've done in the last week that got me there. Meanwhile, it's what you've been doing in the last 3-6 months that got you there. It took me a couple of tries to get used to meditation. Now I can say I've been doing it regularly, meaning 4 to 6 times a week, for 12mins every time. Made huge changes in my life. Allowed me to realize when I am into a stressful situation and deal with them in much more calm ways.

Meditation completely changed every aspect of my life, for the positive. It is the best thing I've ever done for myself and those around me.
I agree 100% comparing my life without meditation to my life with meditation the difference is immense. Meditation is a way of life and it can be THE way of life...

@@skyjuke2006 it’s actually true, helped me a lot with my anxiety.
@nidhi Vv wtf
@nidhi Vv doesnt that indirect change your life
Meditating 15-20 min a day is just enough. Start by doing 5 min after you wake up and 5 min before going to bed.
These are the most important times of your day because it will set your mood for the rest of the day.
The key is not to stop thinking at all. Just observe your thoughts and emotions. Allow them to be there and listen to them.
After that, when you breathe out to end your meditation, let everything go and the Universe will work its magic ;)

Flies, mosquitoes and itching. The ultimate obstacles in the path to enlightenment.
Mosquitoes...becomes a Serial Mosquito Killer, rather than Meditating :-)

I killed 127 mosquitoes in 2 weeks when chilling at my grandparents house in Sri Lanka... personal best kill streak.
Hair itching your face, nose suddenly running, your eye starting to open slightly, the feeling of a bug crawling on your leg. Ik what you mean
you should check out Rewildu for mosquito meditation. He uses mosquitoes specifically in mindfulness training.

Meditation helpt me overcome my depression. It gave me peace and clearity. It really helped allot. Even now that I am feeling beter it helps me maintain my stress level and keep a calm mind in my stressful job. Everyone should mediation daily
A helpful way to meditate for beginners is to imagine your mind like a stream of water and your thoughts like random pieces of debris. When you come across it don't pay attention just let yourself acknowledge it and just flow right past it. It also helps to focus on your breathing in any way you want. Breathe in for 4 seconds through your nose, hold it for 7 and blow out for 8 with your mouth. As you are doing this you can imagine yourself almost like a Firebender from or any other way that helps. Imagine yourself charging up some sort of energy as you are breathing in and hold it and expel it out when you blow out for me I use fire but it can be anything you want
Wow that drone footage was great and blended seamlessly with the rest of the video

"You can't think your way out of overthinking"

@@mattdavella what you have to do is to just get focused on something.Focusing on your breath usually isnt enough.As you breath try and focus to feel the air leaving your nostrils.Just the suble touch the air gives on your nose each breath.It helps,it just makes you stop thinking.One thing you can also do is focusing on the black from the back of your eyes.It s actually harder than it seems to get the nothingness into your focus.On you get deeper and more focused slightly move your eyes down ,do reps of that.It will make you get deeper and focused ,you may start to see colors moving.That s what i found that helps from my own experience.It rlly helps,i meditate before sleep ,it makes me sleep much better
Yay! Somali on meditation
I have been personally meditating for over 10 years...and I can tell you from my personal experience that...if everyone in this world starts meditating for 30 minutes a day..we can bring down world's violence, depression and drugs use by over 95%...
I tried doing it every day for about 10 minutes. As a result, I had lightheadedness. Stopped doing it ever since I had that.
@@tatleman5314 Which kind of practice you was doing?
@@tatleman5314 You're not supposed to do it upside down.
@@joeler1182 I don't know the name of the practice, but I did one which I read from a famous book, don't remember the name anymore. I basically start with focusing on my breath and after a while I just focus on a specific part of my body. That's pretty much it.
@@tatleman5314 There are many practices and not all are good for everybody. The best thing would be learning with a good teacher.
I had the same difficulties as you when I first started meditating. Something that I found helped me a lot was to not set a timer for my meditation sessions. Everyone is completely obssesed with keeping time while meditating. By removing a timer I just gave myself as much time as I needed to clear my head and get as much as possible out of every session. I would stop either when my feet started hurting or when I felt ready. It's also going to stop you getting to day 5 of meditating and feeling like it's not doing anything for you or that you're not getting anywhere. Every person is different, and every mind is different. You can't say that 20 minutes is enough, or that 30 minutes is enough, or that two 30 minute sessions is enough, or that 2 hours is enough, you just have to let everybody get there in their own time.
If anybody out there is new at meditating and you're having a hard time, try 1 or 2 sessions my way, without a timer, and focusing on clearing your mind and hearing your inner voice (your thoughts). I promise you it will work and you will see the difference that meditation can make when you're not focused on time but on the actual session itself.
I can hold on to things longer and still let them go.

Hello! My name is Andrew.
I’ve meditated for the last 442 days and I just wanted to say that for anyone wanting to start meditation, start with smaller amounts and be consistent. An hour is a very long time, ten minutes a day consistently is perfect :)
Have fun and love yourself
A year ago I went on a retreat and mediated for 8 hours with a 5 minute break every half hour and a half hour silent mindful lunch. It was incredible. After the fourth hour it became easier and easier to clear my mind. It was like hitting a reset button in my brain, and all of the background noise faded away. I was fully present in the moment for the next four hours, and afterwards I was so relaxed I had to almost snap out of it before I could drive myself home.
Please explain what you mean you needed to snap out of it
Meditation, even just 5 -20 mins a day has improved the quality of my life. I'll continue to do it as consistently as possible.
In what way?
how has it improved ?
My meditation is sleep
Anytime, for as long as you need. You are in control of your life. Meditation can be done is more ways then sitting with the eyes closed. Standing in line, cleaning, you can access the zen mind preforming any daily activity.
yess! I felt that I was more aware or myself and didn't just go the same thinking patch everyday. it was so freeing to step away while meditating and realise you can choose where to go (not literally) and at the same time just be the person you are.

So true. When I first watched this I decided I'd try to meditate for an hr a day aswell. First of all I didn't know what I was doing, so I didn't see benefits. Also I got really bored after a few mins. Now I tried guided meditation (lasts only 9 mins) to help me out, and it felt great! Maybe eventually I'll work my way up to a half hr, but you half to start slow!
haha
You got me. :)
1 hour is too much 20 min max
Meditating is a waste of time.
“I can hold onto these moments longer, yet sill let them go” damn I felt that
I meditate 10 to 15mins everyday. It's really tough but if I don't do it, I'll be depressed or in a bad mood the entire day.
i think that means you are using it to cope. thats not necessarily a bad thing, but imo its also not a good thing. maybe neutral i dont know
I regularly do it 30 mins to be in a better mind state since I am studying hard for college entrance exam
I think it's not because the meditation itself, but rather it's just because U made Ur mind believe that it's good 4 U and U should do it everyday, 4 instance I don't do meditation and that doesn't mean I'm always depressed, but I told my mind that if I didn't do meditation I'll always be in bad mood, then I'm gonna feel blue all the time, so it's kinda more psychological than U think 🙂😁
I meditate for 8-9 hours a day. In horizontal position with my eyes closed.
happzy I think sleeping and meditation are two different things
"And she says a lot..." melted my heart
Just found your channel - love the humor and minimalism anyways!!! Had to comment on this meditation vid after binge watching others. I hope you two are still practicing daily or trying different methods for a full mandala cycle (doesn’t even need to be an hour/day). It really is the best workout...
Your cinematography is so crazy with the drone cuts and all the matching colors man . Hahah and your bokehs are so perfect .
I actually started getting into this because my anxiety has been through the roof with the virus and the digital realestate i was suffering from general anxiety and i couldn’t sleep and i downloaded headspace and it’s been a huge blessing .
"I can feel more productive. More locked in conversation with Natalie. More aware of every word shes says, ( and she says a lot) " Lol my favorite part.

"Meditation is not a goal, it's an effect of being extremely stable, like mountains." -- A Great Yogi.
Ur reply is very near by the truth 👍
@@princedhillon5397 right, and so now what you need to know is how to become stable because otherwise if you try meditating you're thoughts will drive you crazy and all you'll do is sit closing your eyes and torture yourselves. That's why most people say meditation is boring because they feel tortured.
True man....But that's easier said done.... Mediation comes effortlessly when one have a certain physical and mental health and that can be achieved by practicing yoga and handling your senses correctly.....Most of the people are trying to do mediation that doesn't help.....
@@rishinachane90 right, and to get good physical and mental health, you need to do some "asana and pranayam". That'll automatically set you on the path to yoga with lesser hurdles but still it's a path, which means you'll need to have a longing to traverse that path...
Haha thanks man. I am reminded of how still I become when I see(or am near) a mountain.
Meditation has been something I have done sporadically for a few years, but I realize the benefits. But, what I REALLY wanted to say is that I have been using your encouragement to do some 30 challenges of my own. I have to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this! While doing these 30 days challenges, I have both created, and quit, some habits! I am again drinking the water my body needs, AND I have given up soda and fast food! I’m losing weight without focusing on it! My next 30 days will be a daily walking challenge. After that, my plan is for meditation. You are revamping my life and we’ve never met! How cool is that??

I was really into meditation a few years back when i lived in an old studio apartment in philadelphia. One of my clearest memories of that apartment is the off/on sound of the AC wall unit. Something you normally never become aware of is a major trigger for nostalgia. Meditation is fantastic, but it's like lifting weights or eating healthy. If it isn't done with discipline through time, it doesn't have much value.
Your videos are always inspiring me! Thanks for this making such an entertaining and informative video Matt!
It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts, passing before you. Just witnessing, not interfering not even judging, because the moment you judge you have lost the pure witness
This has to be one of my favorite videos from you! Especially because of Natalie’s involvement.
Thank you!! It's one of my favorites too. Natalie makes all my videos better :)
This whole video feels like a meditation. I got inspired and downloaded the Headspace app again!

Meditation is really changing my life. Not only for "cleaning" my mind off bad thoughts but for a better sleep and a positive mind.
So I recommend anyone who has doubts on the meditation thing, it's really life changing.
Also, Matt, thank you for doing this kind of content and promoting very good habits!!
Set the chronometer, 5 min every day, and add 5 min every week. It helped me a lot when I started to get into this practice. Campus' parking lot was the most quiet place available for me. Although the benefits were many, the first signals might be rather subtle and hard to point out. I was attending college when I started meditating and the first thing I noticed was that I wasn't so worried anymore, about classes, grades, timelines. I actually started to enjoy my college experience a little better.
Im meditating daily. I started meditating at the age of 5 now i am 21 years old. ☺

meditation is about control and control isn't about a holding up to a limit, it's about breaking the limits of human body which i assure you. You can 200% achieve what you really want if you are self conscious about the world and yourself and have control.
Matt: Why are you meditating with me?
Natalie: I like sharing things with you
Matt: *Leaves to be in solitude*
Hi Matt, and hi everyone. I have a personal unbroken, twice-daily, meditation practice since 2002. The benefits that have flowed into my life have been tremendous!!! I highly recommend finding a meditation that resonates with you and "sitting with it" for long enough to see the change that it will bring into your life. At first, you might not notice, maybe your friends will ask "hey, you're different, what have you been doing?" eventually it will become apparent that there has been a huge change. You will become a more grounded, peaceful and dynamic person for sure - IT WILL HAPPEN - just stick with it. And remember, a journey of a million miles begins with a single step. Best of luck to you all!!!!
In regards to distractions, Eckhart Tolle said this: "Any disturbing noise can be as helpful as silence. How? By dropping your inner resistance to the noise, by allowing it to be as it is, this acceptance also takes you into that realm of inner peace that is stillness.
Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace." - Stillness Speaks, Page 6.
The editing on this video is incredible! Very impressed with the desert shots tbh
You’re probably the most accurate person I’ve seen in my life and the best CZcamsr.
10 min meditation :
Wakes at 6.
6:20: okay time to meditation.
Opens eyes: oh shit its 835!
Btw ending was hilarious but imagine meditation allowed for telepathy so cool
Instead of thinking of meditation as relaxing, think of it as a workout where a rep is noticing that your mind has wandered off and bringing it back to the breath
I just completed daily 10 min meditations for 1 month using the fitness+ app. I love how it automatically tracks everything in health so it was easier to make a habit. I also started yoga and find myself more grounded and happier. It's like decluttering your mind and learning how to be compassionate towards your mind and body! Best thing I've done!
Dude I love the way how you edit and script the videos, entertaining, productive and inspirational, all in one!
Thank you!
30 day yoga challenge! This is what I wanna see!
Agree! IMO, yoga is exercise and meditation combined. Hard to beat!
@@annamoehagen3447 yoga varies it could be breathing ie anulom vilom or flexible exercises
YESSSSS DO IT PLEASE
Ooo yep I do too.
Yoga with adriene day 1.. begin (miracle)
beautiful production. great video! 👊
You and Natalie dancing at the end is the best!! :'D hope you two are staying well. Thank you!
The proverbial fly while meditating. Classic. Your mission is to complete a session, regardless of where the fly may be on or near you.
It's choking me. Help!
06:40 "I can taste my whiskey in a way that I rarely do." Mission accomplished.
that moment reminded me of when i was a kid and smoked pot and thought i had the munchies, even tho i wasnt high because i smoked oregano. but i thought me being hungry was the "munchies". hes like, "this whiskey. i taste it more." haha
@@leto7789 😁😁
Leto77 dude you smoked oregano???
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
searched for this comment haha
Video: 'Fly reminds man that he cannot run away to silence until he finds the silence within' Love it.
I'm Buddhism from Thailand and I like your video so much. How great idea!
5:12 How can a kitchen sink and dish soap be so friking aesthetic?
honestly this channel is my meditation.
I am more amazed by the fact that while doing these 30-day challenges, you keep bringing out all other regular videos too. Your mind at any point of time is basically an amazing collection of multiple amazing scripts and the cherry on the cake is that the production quality of your videos is flawless.
Hands down the best content creator on CZcams!!! ♥️
i'm doing what natalie did, ten minutes every day. i'm still struggling a little with not letting my mind wander and just focusing on my breathing, but i hope to improve! this is helping me be motivated and watching this makes me glad i've made this commitment. thank you :))
Yes very good, first feed the mind with rubbish and you meditate on that.
