Each of these guided meditations help with stress and are less than 30 minutes long. Enjoy!

Life can certainly be stressful. We all get overwhelmed. We all get anxious. We all let little things get to us. We are all human and these reactions are normal.

What helps during these stressful situations is mindfulness and taking a moment to, relax and center ourselves. Because, how we react to stressors is the secret to living a more mindful and balanced lifestyle.

Mindfulness takes practice but gets easier over time. Still, by taking the time to breathe, sit, and be, we become stronger, wiser, and more equipped to take on the world. When we prioritize ourselves and our well-being, we become better at self-care and more aware of who we are and what we need.

So, I offer you 10 guided meditations. Each of these meditations is under 30 minutes and are aligned to a variety of potential stressors throughout the day. So, take a breath and exist in the moment.
