Mindfulness programmes are designed to support people’s mental, emotional and physical health in coping with everyday stress. Practicing mindfulness can help people cope better with stressful situations. Mindfulness is also a great way to reduce the symptoms associated with anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses because – by improving mental health – it helps people to become more aware of themselves and others, to reduce stress and mental distress, and to achieve a state of inner calm. Mindfulness can help in reducing insomnia and improving the overall quality of sleep. In fact, by focusing on breathing and body sensations, mindfulness can promote overall relaxation and achieve a state of inner calm, which in turn facilitates a more consistent and restful sleep.
