Nowadays, we’re living in a world that moves very fast. Many people suffer from stress, and as many of you already know: stress is very unhealthy. But what can we do to reduce the stress? Is there any way we can give ourselves some rest? I found the answer, so keep reading if you want to learn how to live your life in balance.
Mindfulness. An understanding some people know, some people don’t. So what is mindfulness exactly? Simply said, it is a form of meditation in which you’re aware of the physical and mental situations of the moment but you won’t respond to it. You just focus on your breathing and if there are any thoughts that come up, you simply don’t do anything with it. Mindfulness is also a way of life in which you accept negative and positive experiences.
Now I can imagine you thinking: How am I supposed to do this then? Well, I found something that is really cool. It’s called Headspace.
Headspace is an app created by YouBeauty Meditation Expert Andy Puddicombe. He really believes in the importance of a relaxed mind. I know, this sounds a bit woolly, but this mindfulness app can really help you to clear your mind and reduce stress. Meditation helps you to relax, think positive and improve your happiness. You only need 10 minutes a day. In this app, there are different levels you can achieve by meditate daily. You can do this any time you want. In the morning, after dinner or before going to bed.
Researches show us that meditation has a positive influence on your health. We already know that it reduces stress, but it also helps you to get in a better mood. Furthermore, meditation will help you to get a better recovery from a heart attack, improving of the blood cholesterol, it helps you to reduce high blood pressure and it is as effective as anti depressants!
I feel like Headspace is an innovation that really works for the future. It can really help you to get rest, especially in high pressure situations. It helps you accept experiences, good or bad ones, and it can make you more confident about yourself. The app is available for both Android and iPhone.
