Practicing mindfulness can help our brains change and grow. However, there are some challenges that make it hard to use mindfulness for reducing stress:

1. Staying Consistent:

   • Many people find it tough to stick to a regular mindfulness routine, which means they miss out on the benefits.
   • Solution: Joining structured programs can help make mindfulness a regular part of their lives.

2. Overwhelming Thoughts:

   • When we feel stressed or anxious, our minds can get crowded. This makes it harder to practice mindfulness.
   • Solution: Simple techniques, like focused breathing, can make it easier to start practicing mindfulness.

Even with these challenges, trying hard can lead to positive changes in our mental health.
