The Power of Yes (Part 3) - Give meditation a whirl: how meditation has helped me and might help you
This week I close out my "Power of Yes" series and tell you one more thing you should say yes to: meditation! I'm going to share why I think meditation gets a bum wrap, and why you should consider giving it a try.
Meditation has helped me by giving me a way to reframe my brain noise and refocus my energy. Yes, even I, the chattiest person I know, now find value in sitting quietly by myself. And if it worked for me, maybe it can work for you!
IN THIS EPISODE:
Unsolicited Advice - Meditation has a LOT of great benefits: it’s been proven to reduce stress and anxiety and improve overall mental health. And despite what you may have heard, it doesn’t take fancy equipment or a brain that’s been scrubbed clean. Even one minute a day of connecting with your body, and choosing to let your thoughts drift, can be beneficial. So give it a try. What have you got to lose?
Unrequired Reading - Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics (A 10% Happier How to Book) by Dan Harris is a great book to start or assist you on a meditation journey, and the Happier app has guided meditations of a lot of the content in the book.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
