Reducing Stress By Practicing MeditationDerek

• When we believe we are unable to handle the
  stresses and challenging circumstances of daily
  life, stress and anxiety develop. The
  availability of emotional resources is just a
  matter of supply and demand. We feel obligated to
  respond to all pressures and expectations,
  regardless of whether the perceived stressor is
  true or false. When we are under pressure, the
  first thing we should consider is whether or not
  we need to respond- Derek Candelore.

How is stress reduced by meditation?

• It allows us the room to distinguish between
  legitimate and invalid demands on our time,
  attention, and emotions. Consider how much
  different our experiences of stress and anxiety
  would be if we could tell them apart. When we
  don't have this room in our lives and think, we
  feel pressure. When meditation provides us with
  the time and space we need to order our
  priorities, we feel relieved. The demand side
  component of stress management is this.

Prevention of Stress

• To prevent stress when it does arise and prevent
  negative situations from spiraling out of
  control, mindfulness meditation is a useful
  baseline practice. We all encounter challenging
  circumstances in life, such as the death of a
  loved one, a divorce, or a moveall of which are
  regarded as high-stress scenarios.

  even just difficult circumstances at work, puts a
  lot of pressure on us, therefore it would be
  useful to understand some fundamental techniques
  to handle stressful circumstances that cannot be
  avoided.
