We talked a lot about the benefits of meditation (it helps relieve chronic pain and stress, "reboot", improve brain function), and in this post we will give one more argument in its favor: meditation helps to work more productively.
A recent study from the University of Washington found that meditation teaches workers to concentrate better, helps them retain more work details in their heads, stay energized, and be less exposed to negative emotions.
The study involved 3 groups of 12-15 participants. The first group practiced meditation for 8 weeks, the second - relaxation of the body, the third group was a control, they led a normal life.
After 8 weeks, participants were tested for their speed and accuracy, and their ability to multitask. Participants' memory and stress levels were also tested.
The first group surpassed all. Their memory improved, they were more alert and less stressed. The third group started practicing meditation 8 weeks after the first group. After starting regular meditation, they also began to notice a decrease in their stress levels. The group that practiced relaxation, oddly enough, did not become more relaxed at work.
It is recommended to devote several hours a week to the practice of meditation, but even 2 minutes a day will help you achieve results. Learn more about how to start meditating in our article: "How to Train Yourself to Meditate Every Day: Practice Two Minutes of Meditation."
