Lately, I was talking about stress in general, including its definition, and common health impacts. But let’s be more positive today and discuss the 3 mindful practices when it comes to dealing with stress.

The Benefit Of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

Mindfulness techniques are proven ways to effectively reduce the level of stress and one can practice them conveniently from home.

The goal of these practices is to make someone focus on the moment which will enhance the individual’s attention on behavioral self-regulation. (1.)

The 3 Mindful Strategies

The most important rule when it comes to dealing with stress mindfully is to evoke a relaxation response. For this purpose a technique has to have the following two attributes:

1. repetition: this could be a word or a prayer
2. maintaining a passive attitude: when a thought arises try to let it go and don’t dwell on it

The next three techniques all have these two attributes of a relaxation response.

1.Meditation

Here we could include mindfulness meditation, transcendental meditation or vipassana meditation. Here is an article about how to get started with mindfulness meditation at home.
