Mindfulness and Stress Reduction Techniques
Meditating and reducing stress is a profound and attainable way to cope with the issues of the present. Our goals in conducting this comprehensive study are to gain a better understanding of mindfulness and its various uses, such as developing emotional regulation skills, building resilience, and learning to regulate our thoughts and feelings in stressful situations.
At its core, mindfulness is the discipline of paying undivided attention in the present moment, accepting it as it is without judgment. A staple of modern mental health regimens, it has its roots in age-old contemplative traditions. Being self-aware, or at least able to identify and accept one's own thoughts and feelings without giving them power over one, is a prerequisite to understanding mindfulness.
