Mindfulness or Meditation Practice
This practice is something that can really impact the amount of calm and peacefulness you have in your life. When all else fails, especially on a really bad day.
Benefits of Meditation and Mindfulness:
- Decrease your body's stress response.
- Increased relaxation
- Increased calmness
- Balanced mood
- Decreased blood pressure
- Decreased inflammation.
- Decreased symptoms of depression.
- Decreased severity of anxiety.
- Improved symptoms of chronic pain
- Decreased post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD symptoms/episodes)
- Improved sleep, less insomnia and fatigue
Meditation can leave you feeling happier, more balanced emotionally, and improve your resiliency to life's stresses.
Meditation can help reset your emotions and your stress levels.
Some people use the terms Mindfulness and Meditation interchangeably. My interpretation though is that they are two different things.
