80% of workers feel job stress and 25% have felt like screaming due to stress. Nearly half of those stressed workers say they need help managing stress, as does 42% of coworkers. Job stress costs an estimated $300 billion annually in the US due to absenteeism, lack of innovation/focus, employee turnover and reduced productivity. Mindfulness practices such as focusing on the present moment can reduce rumination after stressful events and change the brain to be more resilient to future stress. Neuroscientists have found the brain can change through mindfulness training with even beginners showing increased gray matter concentration related to memory. Small, regular mindfulness habits such as 10 minutes daily of meditation can provide benefits.
