Harvard Recommends Simple Mindfulness to Reduce Stress

Harvard Health highlights that brief mindfulness practices can help reduce stress and anxiety by focusing attention on the present moment. Mindfulness involves accepting current experiences without judgment, according to Harvard Medical School's Ronald Siegel. A recommended exercise is mindful breathing: sitting comfortably, noticing the breath's rhythm, and gently returning focus when the mind wanders. This practice may ease mental overwhelm over time.
