Creative Meditation for the Real Estate Professional

The real estate world can be an industry of intense emotional and psychological pressure.

Deadlines, meetings, employee needs, client needs and a hundred other items on which one needs to focus on a daily basis can create an environment that is not only not conducive to mental well-being, but can be outright detrimental.

Learning to quiet the mind has been the focus of meditation for millennia. While those not familiar with the concept of meditation may instinctively think of yoga mats, incense, and chanting when the word "meditation" arises, there are in fact, many forms of meditation that can integrate quite easily into the daily hustle & bustle world of the busy real estate agent.

First, think about when you are alone each day. Here are some possible times to practice mediation during the workday:

• When driving to the office in the morning

• When driving to a showing or to meet a client

• Before your open house begins

• After the open house Driving home in the evening
