How does meditation help stress management?

Answer 1

If you practice properly and diligently, after a few weeks you will have less difficulty managing stress. (If not, that indicates that you are simply not practicing properly or diligently.) You will soon also experience less emotional instability and agitation. It diminishes emotional stress because it reduces egocentricity and an egocentric evaluation (such as "This is bad for me") is at the heart of every emotion.

As you have less emotional, you will naturally experience less tension, anxiety, and nervousness.

You will also become more accepting of yourself and of others. This often leads to greater intimacy with loved ones. Furthermore, other people will become more attracted to you. Of course, improved interpersonal relations by themselves remove an important cause of stress. Physically, those who master meditation enjoy lowered blood pressure and blood lipid levels. Meditation has a calming influence on the body, which also reduces an important source of stress. Obviously, meditation is very beneficial when it comes to stress management. Furthermore, unlike drug therapy, it is perfectly natural.
