Practicing meditation exercises for 10 minutes a day reduces anxiety, tension, and helps you focus better, according to a recent Canadian study.
The researchers found that meditation exercises for only ten minutes a day helped 82 people shift attention from their inner fears to the outside world, enabling them to focus better on the work they do.
The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada in collaboration with psychologists from Harvard University. The research team studied the effect of meditation exercises on participants who suffer from increased anxiety, frequent thinking and distraction.
The study, published in the journal Consciousness and Cognition, showed today that brain training on meditation may have protective effects for people who are frequently distracted and distracted.
Previous studies have shown that the exercise of meditation for 25 minutes a day for three consecutive days reduces the levels of hormone "cortisol" known as stress hormone, reduces stress and anxiety, and reduces brain aging.
