Is Meditation Stressful? Let’s Troubleshoot!
Meditation at work can really work for you!
Meditation is supposed to be a relaxing practice that leads to greater resilience toward stress in several ways:
- Meditation allows you a break from your problems so your body can get out of its stress response and your mind can escape rumination.
- Meditation provides you with a way to distance yourself from your problems and approach them from a fresh perspective.
- Meditation can actually make your mind and body less reactive to stress over time!
With these and other great benefits, why don’t we all do meditation all the time? One reason is that meditation can feel stressful sometimes and to certain personality types. This is particularly true if you don’t know what to expect or how to work around it.
Fortunately, there are strategies to make meditation less stressful and more peaceful. Here are some of the most common problems and solutions. I encourage you to get into the habit of meditation this month and let the practice help carry you through the stress of the year.
