According to neuroscience research, mindfulness practices dampen activity in our amygdala and increase the connections between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. Both parts of the brain help us to be less reactive to stressors and to recover better from stress when we experience it. What’s that mean? Practicing mindfulness can help you be less stressed in the long run. Here are a list of some FREE mindfulness apps you can check out. All apps are available for download on Android and iOS.
