- Scientific benefit: Regular practice is linked to lower cortisol levels and improved mood regulation
- Practical takeaway: Committing to just five minutes of daily breath-focused meditation can build mental resilience
- Failure mode: Treating meditation as an escape rather than a way to build the focus needed to navigate modern stressors
