Day 15 – Meditate

[Greeting]

Welcome back to the Stress Management Challenge! Today is day 15, the start of week 
3 and the final week of the challenge. You are going to be learning how to meditate, but 
don’t worry, we will make it fun and easy to do!

When you meditate, you focus your attention and calm your mind to achieve a state of 
deep relaxation. It can be done in various forms, including mindfulness meditation, 
loving-kindness meditation, guided meditation, and many others. The goal of meditation 
is to quiet the mind and bring awareness to the present moment, without judgment.

The more you participate in a meditation practice, the better you will get at handling 
stress and reducing your own stress response. 

Today, we are inviting you to meditate for a few minutes, but by looking for a video that 
will guide you through a simple meditation. That way, you don’t have to even think about 
how to meditate, you are going to be guided to it every step of the way.

Here are some YouTube meditations you can start with:
