<The study found that both meditation exercises and vacationing were associated with higher levels of wellbeing and increased mindfulness.>🍃

The researchers examined data provided by 40 university students, who used a guided audio file to meditate for 15 minutes per day for two non-consecutive 2-week phases of the study. During the entire 8-week study, the participants completed a daily survey in the evening that assessed their well-being, emotions, and mindfulness.🎋

✅The results are in line with a previous study, which found that mindfulness exercises were better than vacations for stress reduction and mood lifting. But, as with all research, the current study includes some caveats.2
