Practice Meditation
How would you like to change your brain to improve your life? Meditation has been found to “re-wire” the brain producing a host of benefits:
* Reduces anxiety & stress
* Calms wandering thoughts
* Lowers blood pressure
* Improves working memory
* Decreases sensitivity to pain
* Enhances immune system
* Helps reverse heart disease
* Increases self-awareness
* Slows aging
Simply focusing on one thing – your breath, a word, an image, a sound – for 15 minutes a day can make a difference.
Extra Tip: Meditators have less activity in the area of the brain that processes fear.
