> . I am way more focused, happier and might I conservatively add the word "successful" in my married life as well as financially. I never practiced meditation, I am more focused, happier etc. now than I was before. It's a collateral effect of aging well and seeing the results of the struggles of my younger self. And also some of the hormones reduce their effects when you age. Meditation can help because it can put you in the mindset of taking care of yourself But there are many things that actually work better if one understand that taking care of yourself is the most important path towards a better life
