7-Day Happiness Challenge: Day 3

Meditation and Mindset: How Does It Make You Happier? 

You probably have heard that meditation helps make you feel calm and reduce stress, but it can also help you become happier too. 

When you quiet the outside world, you're able to zero in on your thoughts and feelings. You're able to relax, deep breath, and just be. Deep breathing alone can help lower cortisol levels in your body.

Sometimes the stress of life zaps our ability to just.... be. If you go and go and go and never stop to reflect, you're going to feel burnt out. But meditation can help find that peace, and it allows you practice mindfulness too!

Meditation also provides you with the quite reflection to address things that have been bothering you, and when you create game-plans to tackle those problems, you'll end up happier too. 

Tip: Use this meditation if you're short on time.
