Introduction

Many people now use short meditation to feel less stress at work and school.

Main Body

People use phones and computers all the time. This makes them feel very tired and sad. Now, people do not go to long meditation camps. They do short exercises instead because they have no time. Some people just watch their breath. They do not try to stop all thoughts. Other people use special tricks. They hold their breath or make humming sounds to relax their brain. Doctors at Harvard say these exercises help. They reduce fear and make people feel calm. These short breaks help people stay happy during a busy day.

Conclusion

Short meditation is a good tool for a busy life.
