I guess if you meditate consistently, you tend to be more focused, creative, and concentrate more. This becomes second nature with time and pays off in the long run. You begin to see things in a different light, and new perspective. You feel stronger and more mentally prepared to face challenges.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Justin U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes I do.

Good luck!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Pierre S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes. As I slowly expand the amount of time I spend meditating (I try to add 1 minute a week till I reach 30 minutes) I do see the effects transfer to other areas.<\/p>\n<p>I can focus for longer because I am getting used to being mindful. Learning to control my breathing and clear my mind is a powerful tool.<\/p>\n<p>The more you try the better you will get at it. The most important thing is to not beat up yourself if you can&#39;t focus.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, ask yourself &quot;What can I do differently?&quot; Experiment. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lily U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes.
