Meditation is the practice of observing and directing our thoughts. Also known as mindfulness, it has been practiced for thousands of years, but only in the last few decades has modern science validated its benefits for both mental and physical health. Mindfulness can help reduce rumination on negative thoughts and teaches us to stay grounded in the present moment. It doesn’t require much time—experts recommend anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes a day—and numerous apps are offering free guided meditations. Insight Timer is one popular option, which features free and subscriber-only meditations.
