Have you ever felt so anxious that you thought your whole day would be ruined because of it? If so, then practicing meditation for stress is for you!
Before we dive into the meditation for stress, let’s acknowledge that overwhelm can come on extremely fast and sweep you up without hesitation.
One moment you’re thinking about everything on your to-do list and then the next you feel completely immobile and frozen in place with the vast endlessness of your thoughts. However, when we’re taken down in these moments, we can’t stay down, and knowing how to claw our way out might feel hopeless.
Enter meditations to relieve stress and anxiety!
This post is all about meditation for stress.
Does it sound like taking a couple of minutes to just breathe is counterintuitive when you have so much to get done?
Because it’s all about that headspace babayyyy!
If you’re in a negative, anxious mindset then there’s no way you’ll get anything done without sacrificing your wellness.
So let’s get into it!
Meditation For Stress
Let me break this down real nice for you, I’ll give you a shorter, mid-length, and longer meditation as a kicking-off point!
Once you get a feel for it, don’t be afraid to take to the Youtube machine yourself and find meditations you love!

Whether you choose a guided meditation or you just set a timer on your phone, positioning is everything.

When you notice yourself becoming distracted or your thoughts running, always return to your breath.
Medium Meditation

I challenge you to play with the lengths of your meditations since sometimes we can get into it right away…
