Does your head ever whirl replaying conversations of the day, worrying about upcoming events, and stressing about getting things done?
Handling stress well makes all the difference during your day. Unhealthy ways to handle stress include alcohol, drugs and anger. Learning healthy ways to handle stress is something we try to teach at Women In Charge. Recently we began emphasizing meditation in yoga class. Yoga itself provides many health benefits. Meditation adds to it and has the advantage of being something our students can practice at home, taking just five or ten minutes out of their day. Benefits of meditation may include: lessening of anxiety and depression symptoms, reducing blood pressure, helping with binging and emotional eating and better sleep.
As we wrap up 2019 and prepare to head into the new year, start thinking of ways that you can incorporate meditation into your daily routine. Let’s make sure that we are taking care of our whole selves in 2020!
