You've heard about all the wonderful benefits you get from meditating daily.

Well, here are the TOP 10 things you CAN'T do once it's a daily habit:

1. You CAN'T squash bugs anymore. You automatically grab the clear plastic cup and postcard for their trip outdoors. And a big, clear plastic cup descends from the heavens and makes you spend more time in nature too.

2. You CAN'T worry that you might outlive your money or break a hip or get Alzheimer's because meditation jams up the worry works in your brain.

3. You CAN'T eat a steady diet of junk food because your expanded awareness makes you crave healthy, delicious food. On the other hand, meditation keeps you from being anal about it and lets you eat a cholesterol-laden, juicy cheeseburger once in awhile - without guilt.

4. You CAN'T be grumpy no matter how hard you try. Silly? Yes. But grouchy and grumpy can't stand that bliss and they're out of there.

5. You CAN'T say, "Not tonight, dear. I have a headache," because meditation keeps your libido from finding out what they say about hormones after menopause.

6. You CAN'T hold a grudge because meditation makes everyone a mirror for what you need to examine inside yourself.

7. You CAN'T yell "Turn down that rock 'n roll!" to your grandson because your feet are already dancing.

8. You CAN'T be a couch potato in front of the TV for hours because meditation makes your creative juices explode and you can hardly keep your pen or paintbrush moving fast enough.

9. You CAN'T feel lonely or isolated, even if your partner divorced you or died, because meditation makes you feel whole and complete within yourself. Besides, you get the feeling there's a spirit buddy always hanging around who really cares about you.

10. And you CAN'T grow old because all the cells in your body are just too darned happy. Love and Joy!
