Meditation
Habitual process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts
What is meditation?
You can use it to increase awareness of yourself and your surroundings. Many people think of it as a way to reduce stress and develop concentration. People also use the practice to develop other beneficial habits and feelings, such as a positive mood and outlook, self-discipline, healthy sleep patterns and even increased pain tolerance. Normally, mental and physical stress cause increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This produces many of the harmful effects of stress, such as the release of inflammation-promoting chemicals called cytokines. These effects can disrupt sleep, promote depression and anxiety, increase blood pressure and contribute to fatigue and cloudy thinking. Research has shown that meditation may also improve symptoms of stress-related conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder and fibromyalgia Less stress translates to less anxiety. Meditation may also help control job-related anxiety in high-pressure work environments. Habitual meditation helps reduce anxiety and anxiety-related mental health issues like social anxiety, phobias and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.
Where should I meditate?
You can meditate anywhere. Once you are able to create a habitual practice, you will be able to meditate anywhere at anytime. Some people find it is easier and more helpful to meditate in the mornings, some in the evenings, and for others, the goal is twice a day.
