Mindfulness meditation is a popular form of meditation that can help you cope with stress and other emotional health issues. It can be combined with clinical care and help you keep a healthy lifestyle and stay mentally fit. Meditation can help you learn to better control your emotions. It can also help you become more aware and accepting of negative thoughts. You learn not to be judgmental about your thoughts and instead think of those thoughts and feelings as momentary impulses that will pass.

We are living in stressful times. Some stressors we can anticipate and others take us by surprise. Because we may not be able to avoid stress, it’s important to have strategies for managing it. Building your resilience can help you manage on a day-to-day basis. Resilience is the ability to adapt well to difficulty, change, or other sources of stress. Being resilient doesn’t mean that you will not feel stress or anxiety. It does make it more likely that you’ll be able to manage that stress and feelings of anxiety or uncertainty.

Stress is your body’s reaction to an event that stimulates you. When you encounter such an event, adrenaline, a stimulant hormone, is released into your bloodstream. Adrenaline, along with other stress hormones, produces a number of changes in the body, which are intended to be protective. While mild to moderate stress can help improve your overall performance, too much can compromise your quality of life. The challenge is to keep yourself at a level of stress that is healthy and enjoyable. This guide provides general information on the causes of stress and techniques to successfully manage it.
