QUIETING THE CHAOS
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 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 those who didn’t practice mindfulness.
