MEDITATION & CLEARING THE BRAIN FOG...

I seem to eat, breath and sleep making noise so it surprises people when I tell them I love sitting in silence. Being in the music industry is complicated: there’s lots to think about, from every angle and there’s an undercurrent of pressure that we always should be doing something to sustain our careers. Artists don’t get to switch off from work at 5 pm, we are constantly planning, scheming, writing, posting or at the least worrying about doing all of those things. I used to say, it would be amazing to get a holiday away from my mind, because no sandy beach could ever relax me and no Netflix could ever chill me out. As a creative with ADD, who’s natural temperament leads to ups and downs, I always thought I was destined to ride the emotional rollercoaster for life and be forever caught in brain fog. I was never someone who could tick off my to-do list because my mind was constantly racing, getting distracted here, there and everywhere. That’s until I tried meditation.
