Myth: Isn't meditation just sitting there?
Research shows that meditation can help manage anxiety, reduce stress, better prioritize, increase productivity, recognize and address triggers, identify negative self thoughts and behaviors allowing for more positive, encouraging self-talk, improved sleep, increase happiness... and so much more!
Meditation is often thought of as training the brain, which is true… but it also physically changes the brain with consistent practice. I know that seems impossible but there is data and research to support this! Meditation actually increases the area of the brain responsible for awareness, concentration, and decision making while decreasing the area that is responsible for emotions like fear, stress and anxiety.
Fact: Meditation can help us in many ways, benefits are endless!
