If you’ve been looking for a way to turn down the volume on all the madness, distraction, and stress, look no further than Maximizing Mindfulness and Minimizing Stress. This easy-to-read book will show you how mindfulness can boost your immune system, reduce your stress, give you more energy, improve your health, and lift your mood. This book not only teaches you how to BE more mindful, it will also show you how mindfulness is used to treat depression, addiction, and chronic pain. Filled with personal anecdotes and backed by scientific studies, this book includes a 12-month meditation schedule that shows you how to incorporate mindfulness meditation into your daily routine. Penned by stress management expert Jim Porter, Maximizing Mindfulness and Minimizing Stress walks you through how he embraced mindfulness and how you can too. Meditation changes the very structure of your brain. Areas of the brain responsible for emotional control get bigger and areas of the brain responsible for emotional outbursts get smaller. Your mind is going to wander. When it does, bring it back to whatever it is you are focusing on like your breathing. There’s no such thing as a bad meditation. As long as you keep trying to bring your mind back into the present moment, without judgment, you are going to get something out of your meditation. You DO have time to meditate. Even a minute here or two minutes there will do you some good. The more you meditate the easier it gets.
