\t\t\t\tDo you sometimes just need a BREAK in the middle of the workday? Turns out, many people do.\u00a0Meditation has been shown, by like, a whole lot of studies, to reduce stress, improve health and\u00a0reduce blood pressure, increase concentration, and kind of generally, to make people nicer. Well, at\u00a0least more compassionate. That’s a good start to helping you have a better day.<\/p>\n

There are many different kinds of meditation, like “mindfulness”, which just means paying attention to\u00a0feelings and thoughts in a non-judgmental way; this kind of meditation is good for improving memory\u00a0and attention span, as well as reducing stress. Another form of meditation is guided or mantra\u00a0meditations. These are easier to follow and don’t rely so much on your brain to keep itself in line. They\u00a0are better for relaxation of the mind and can be well-suited to people with Type A personalities.\u00a0Breathing exercises are great to soothe the nervous system and reduce stress and anxiety, as well as\u00a0reduce depression. Meditations on love and kindness work toward developing feelings of warmth,\u00a0goodwill and kindness towards others. This kind of meditation can improve feelings of well-being and\u00a0relieve illness, and the compassion and empathy you develop through it can improve health and\u00a0increase longevity.<\/p>\n

Well now, there’s an app for that! Lots of them, in fact. Here is a list of some of the most highly\u00a0recommended meditation or mindfulness apps so you can get your “Om” on at work and recover your\u00a0equilibrium during a stressful day:<\/p>\n
