Brain stress accumulates during back-to-back meetings when we don&#8217;t take breaks.<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During two consecutive hours of back-to-back meetings, there was a noticeable increase in the activity of beta waves, which are commonly associated with stress. In other words, the stress kept accumulating. But when participants took breaks to engage in meditation, the beta wave activity diminished, allowing the brain to &#8220;reset.&#8221; As a result, participants entered their next meeting in a more renewed and relaxed state.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-014e977 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-column-slider-no wpr-equal-height-no\" data-id=\"014e977\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ac03f5f\" data-id=\"ac03f5f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41d0ae3 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"41d0ae3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"stress response\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NjE5NywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5taW5kbGV0aWMuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8xMFwvc3RyZXNzLXJlc3BvbnNlLXNjYWxlZC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2536\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6197\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-scaled.jpg 2536w, https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-1014x1024.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-768x775.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-1522x1536.jpg 1522w, https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-2029x2048.jpg 2029w, https:\/\/www.mindletic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/stress-response-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2536px) 100vw, 2536px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-21ae259\" data-id=\"21ae259\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d52e1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d52e1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>2.

When under stress, we often think about the things we did earlier, or things we could have done better. Many of us have a running to-do list in our heads. Thus, further increasing the feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. A 10-minute mindfulness break allows us to let go of these thoughts, be wholly present in the moment, acknowledging our surroundings in peace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By practicing mindfulness regularly, our brains are physiologically rewired, creating greater mental resilience. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5373945\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Professor Hedy Kober<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Yale University conducted a study asking her participants to recall intense negative memories from their past eight times over an eight-week period. The goal was to see if meditation training would affect their brain&#8217;s stress response.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results were significant, showing notable changes in the amygdala\u2014a brain region involved in the experience of negative emotions. Kober found that individuals who learned mindful meditation exhibited decreased activity in this region. This means that the part of the brain responsible for producing feelings of anxiety, fear, and general stress is physically smaller in the brains of expert meditators.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1649d7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1649d7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">So, what do these studies tell us?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd1ce31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd1ce31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The growing scientific research on mindfulness meditation shows that this practice has a clear effect on the way our brains function and also the way it is structured over time.
