Over time, daily meditation can lead to improved focus, reduced stress levels, and enhanced creativity. It is a practice that encourages you to pause amidst the hustle and bustle of your daily life, fostering a deep self-awareness and profound sense of calm that extends far beyond the meditation cushion. The practice continues to rise in popularity, with many celebrities who meditate speaking out about the transformative effect it has had on their lives. 4improve contains a collection of guided meditation and calming audio for self-led practice. Like many famous advocates, by setting yourself a daily meditation goal, you too could nurture your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. 


Celebrities Who Meditate And How It Benefits Them
50 Cent, Rapper
‘I try to meditate, but I’m still not good at it. I don’t know if it’s that my thoughts are racing so fast that I get lost in thought momentarily. But then I have to go back to my mantra again… I try and do it in different places, not always in my house in the area I set up for meditation.’

Like many celebrities who meditate, at the beginning of his meditation journey 50 Cent found the process challenging. The idea of repeating a mantra or concentrating on a single sensation, such as your breath, may sound simple but in reality, it’s a complex practice. 4improve’s guided meditations keep you focused and centred. By meditating daily you develop the techniques needed to stay in the present, eventually filtering out intruding thoughts.  

Hugh Jackman, Actor
‘It’s not just finding quiet, it’s finding bliss. And that is natural, that is for everybody. You see it in babies and you don’t have to teach it to them. We somehow forget. And what meditation has done for me, Deb and my children is to get us back to the thing we’ve forgotten, which is - it is our birthright to be happy.’  

It’s easy to become bogged down by work stress, pressures at home, or financial challenges. When this happens, your thoughts may become negative which makes it harder to overcome these obstacles. This is a difficult cycle to break. 4improve encourages you to improve your well-being by making small changes to 4 integral pillars of health: meditation, exercise, nutrition, and trackers. As Hugh Jackman states, ‘...it is your birthright to be happy’ and daily meditation can be the catalyst that sparks improved wellness in all aspects of your life. Take inspiration from celebrities who meditate and integrate daily practice into your routine.  

Oprah, Talk Show Host
‘I give myself a healthy dose of quiet time at least once, and when I’m on point, twice a day: twenty minutes in the morning, twenty in the evening. Knowing that stillness is the space where all creative expression, peace, light, and love come to be is a powerfully energising, yet calming experience.’

If you’re a morning person, you may find the best time to introduce meditation to your day is shortly after waking. Listening to one of 4improve’s 10-minute meditations calms the mind and helps you to set your intentions for the rest of the day. Meditating before bed allows you to unwind and destress, preparing the body for a deeper sleep. Whatever time of day you settle on, we recommend setting yourself a reminder for the first couple of weeks so that practice becomes habitual.   

Lady Gaga, Singer
‘I do transcendental meditation… When I slip up on it, it’s not the best. It’s better when I do it. I can sometimes be in a tonne of pain, I meditate and it goes away. It’s amazing.’

Like Lady Gaga, many celebrities who meditate started in an attempt to reduce physical pain. Jon Kabat-Zinn, professor of medicine and founder of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts, recommends the body scan exercise as the best form of mindfulness for pain conditions. 4improve holds 1000+ nature sounds and audio for stress reduction and deep concentration. Choose a calming track and begin by focusing on your left foot. If you notice any pain, acknowledge it and any emotions that accompany it, observing the discomfort and encouraging your body to relax. Proceed this way throughout the body to increase your pain management. 

Russel Brand, Comedian And Actor
‘I’m quite a neurotic thinker, quite an adrenalised person. But after meditation, I felt this beautiful serenity and selfless connection. My tendency towards selfishness, I felt that exposed as a superficial and pointless perspective to have.’

Russel Brand is one of many celebrities who meditate and have modified aspects of their character through meditation. The practice serves as a profound vehicle for facilitating personal growth by allowing you to confront your undesirable qualities. Through repetition, meditation encourages introspection and non-judgmental observation of your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. This heightened self-awareness allows you to let go of negative patterns, cultivate positive traits and navigate life with a greater sense of authenticity and self-compassion. Meditation plays a key role in holistic living, impacting every aspect of your life when practised daily. 4improve is the ultimate 360° app, helping you to set and achieve goals which positively influence your body and mind.
