Calm the Mind

Post date: Aug 21, 2013 8:23:40 PM

Taking just a couple minutes each day to calm the mind, be it through meditation, mindfulness, listening to relaxing music, or even a bathroom time out, can have long lasting mental and physical effects. Studies have shown that calming the mind can help reduce stress, reduce blood pressure, decrease pain, and improve concentration. I like the app Calm. It guides you through meditation techniques in a user-friendly, non-judgmental way. It even sends reminders! Whatever way you choose, take that moment to yourself. Start now!
