Meditation reduces stress and anxiety. It improves emotional regulation by helping individuals become more aware of their mind and body. It also creates opportunities for people to cultivate healthier coping mechanisms. It can increase focus and concentration, especially for individuals who struggle with cognitive and/or attention difficulties. Meditation requires focus, which increases awareness and provides insight into one’s thoughts and behaviors, and regular meditation has been shown to decrease feelings of depression and anxiety. Other benefits of meditation include a decrease in stress, an increase in relaxation, and improved sleep regulation. Meditation has also proved to enhance positive emotions such as gratitude, love, and compassion. Meditation offers many emotional benefits and can also be helpful for those experiencing physical pain. By regulating your nervous system through meditation, you can better manage life’s unique challenges.

In my experience, meditation means calm and serenity to me throughout my day. Taking ten to fifteen minutes out of my day to relax and find a calm sense of presence really makes my day. It relaxes my anxiety and depression that I have and gives me a sense of self-awareness of things I need to work on to better myself.
