Stress is the modern-day equivalent to the scary monster that, when we were children, hid under our beds and kept us up at night. According to a study by the American Psychological Association, stress greatly impacts health and behaviors—in both adults and children—with individuals reporting physical and mental health related symptoms, such as headaches or feeling anxious or depressed.
Fortunately, there’s a powerful and effective way to deal quiet the chaos in our lives: mindfulness.
In recent years, new evidence shows mindfulness practices and techniques can help ease stress and anxiety. A study published in “Psychiatry Research” showed anxious people who took a mindfulness course reacted to stress better and had lower hormonal and inflammatory response than people who didn’t practice mindfulness.
With these kinds of findings, it’s no wonder mindfulness is now widely being practiced. Corporations and businesses are implementing mindfulness in their company culture; schools are developing mindfulness-based curriculum; and therapists, counselors and support groups are teaching mindfulness techniques and practices to help people work their way through stressful situations.
