Meditation is one of the techniques you can use to reduce stress. It aims to achieve a state of mental calm. Mindfulness meditation, in particular, involves concentrating on the present moment, paying attention to the sensations you feel and your breathing, while observing your own thoughts without letting them carry you away. This gives the mind a break, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. To be effective, meditation requires regular practice.
