Why should you meditate?

Guided meditations are an easy way into starting meditating. Meditation offers a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits, which is why it is considered a valuable practice for many individuals.

The biggest benefit of meditating is stress-relief. It triggers the relaxation response in the body, which helps lower the production of stress hormones like cortisol. Moreover, meditation can be effective in managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.

It doesn’t have to be long. 10-15 minutes of meditation can really help you to become more aware of your emotions and develop better emotional regulation skills. It encourages self-reflection and helps you to gain insight into your thought patterns, habits, and behaviours.

Meditation is often associated with increased life satisfaction and an improved sense of well-being. Moreover, it can calm racing thoughts and relax the body, making it easier to fall asleep.

I hope that this is convincing you to try this! You can start with as little as 3-5 minutes and gradually increase your time spent meditating. You will look forward to this me-time and possibly even rely on this for your emotional regulation every day!
