Prince Harry recommends meditation

I wonder what his understanding of " burn out " means or entails.

I meditate and would recommend it as do most people that do. Is it relevant that Harry has recommended it?

I'm sure the mums at the food bank will find his recommendation very helpful

I have never meditated. Poor Harry with his stressful life, the money worries. Burn out my a*se.

yes it's all over twitter ect and the news.

her's a short piece from him
Later, the Duke spoke about being taught 'lessons from the universe', saying: 'Life is about learning right? If you're in your 20s, your 30s, your 40s, and even your 50s and you think you've got it sorted then bad stuff is going to happen.

'But when bad things happen I think, "There's a lesson here, I'm being schooled by the universe, there is something for me to learn."

'Next time it happens, I'm going to be more resilient and can see a way around it to achieve the ultimate goal.'

this is what he said.
The world according to Prince Harry! The Duke of Sussex's tips for achieving 'mental fitness'
AIM FOR THE PINNACLE OF MENTAL FITNESS: 'Mental fitness is the pinnacle, it's what you're aiming for. The road towards that can be really bumpy... it's called inner "work" for a reason.'

He’s not wrong.

What a doofus. Not someone to set an example.

I suppose he means well. He has had mental health issues. I think though he’s ‘rudderless’. Instead of navel gazing I think he needs a proper job of sorts (not for the money, obv) but he needs a purpose - every day. I think that would do him good. Perhaps working with others less fortunate than himself materially? That said, the great loss for him of his mother at such a young age, with the world’s eyes upon him at her funeral must have taken its toll. That, sadly, is what he has to bear and be troubled by in the wee small hours. I cannot imagine his pain.

I meditate, it has been an extremely useful coping mechanism over the years.

I got it down to a fine art when waiting in the school car park, if youngest was asleep in car seat I would switch off for 10 minutes meditation, a break from my work me before switching to Mum mode

Meditation, Pilates, yoga etc may help some people but there is also power in prayer..

Good post Urms

To answer the question. He's right. Meditation is one of the most helpful things in my life. I should do it every day. When I'm feeling good I sometimes forget.

‘… even your 50s .’

So gracious to consider the old people.
Ageist git!

I tried meditation but my brain clearly isn't the meditating type.

If it works for some though, that's great .

So if you are content with life in your 50’s beware , something is going to bugger it up.

Meditation is always good whoever recommends it. I don't do it often enough. As far as Harry is concerned he was raised in a completely different manner. The influence of his mother (who might have been a bit alternative) disappeared suddenly from his life and left him with a family that believes in the stiff upper lip, duty and protecting the bloodline. Now he's discovered alternative therapies, like most converts he's gone completely over the top. He just needs time to absorb things properly.

Good point trisher.

He was also doing a sales pitch for BetterUp, where he happens to be Chief Impact Officer, whatever that is. He wants everyone to have access to a BetterUp coach - currently $279 a month. Some people, when they actually have money, have other things to spend it on, like food and heating.

Hit the nail on the head tidyskatemum
Always follow the money.

Shame he’s bonkers.

Anyone born into that weird dysfunctional family would probably find meditation helpful.

Pity Andrew chose fornication rather than meditation.

He walked away from the ‘Heads Together’ charity ,
