This 10 minute guided meditation for stress has been designed not only to help relieve stress and reduce anxiety, but also to promote deep relaxation and mental calm. Use this meditation whenever overwhelm or overthinking causes you more stress than normal. Trying to reduce stress in the moment is always tough.

Being mindful of situations that raise your stress levels is a skill that even the best stress management teachers struggle with. So the first thing to do is not to beat yourself up as that will only add to your problems. Dealing with stress happens in 2 parts. The obvious in the moment part when you're overthinking, feeling overwhelmed and like you can't cope is the second part. The first is what we focus on here.

The first part is shaping your mind, conscious and subconscious through the use of guided meditations for stress. So that when you find yourself in the second part, deep in the moment when all you want is some stress relief your mind has the tools both consciously and subconsciously to help you deal with things a little better. Guided meditations for stress reduction aren't a cure or a magic fix. They're a system to help give you the tools you need to handle your own mind in whatever stressful situations you find yourself in. Reducing stress through meditation is a powerful technique that many people use daily because it works.

Learning how to relieve your stress in a matter of minutes means that no matter where you are or what situation you find yourself in you hold the keys and the power to make sure you're not overcome by stress and can push your mind and body towards a more positive frame of mind.
