Life is too much trouble all the way. You have to wake up early, get yourself ready for job, rush to the office, get settled at your workplace go through the daily grind, wrap up the day’s mess and then rush towards the home where you have tons of other things in hand to handle and finish before you finally hit the sack.
There seems to be quite a less personal time and this leads to chronic illnesses, even mental health concerns are considered to be a part and parcel of having to spend a ‘no me’ kind of life. One asks and even debates over the fact that there’s no such thing as ‘me time’ in today’s world. You have to devote your present in order to earn enough to sustain your old, tired and probably ill, future. But if this is the way half of the world, or even more, sees life there is something really wrong with us, and even our society.
Many people envy and sigh looking at pictures of people and couples who prefer traveling across the globe, fulfilling their dream of looking at all the wonders of the world and realizing how beautiful life is. The latter spends time, at home, at office, with kids, either changing diapers or saving up for college money. We should realize that every life has its own charm and that this charm comes with its own set of pros and cons.
The social media world is different; it is like you post your best reflection on your profile that you want the world to see. Because you know the world won’t be interested in your daily dose of leaking taps, fused bulbs and punctured tires. This is how much of a trouble life is for each one of us. We are served with our own share of troubles and everyone battles with it on their own.
Therefore, it is highly important to understand the meaning and importance of oneself. Meditation is one key that unlocks a zillion other traps and empowers you to hold tight the reign of your body, mind and emotions. These are 19 amazing health and lifestyle benefits of meditation, for all you lovely Coveville fans.

All the while Im having my breakfast I think of what would be the possible lunch and dinner menu, excluding the time spent devouring the snacks and unfortunately, most of the food that sits in my food chain is comprised of junk. It’s not that I’m afraid of the benefits of a good diet, it’s just the psyche where you can’t happen to digest the right kinds of food.

This is because they had invested into living a life that was full of experiences and not getting stuck for a whole life inside a work station. A station that is run from the fuel pumped out by the blood of the brain drained workers.
