Meditation may help improve moods and focus, according to a study published in The Journal of Positive Psychology.
The study of nearly 200 adults found that those who meditated reported improvements in mood and focus, while those who did not meditate reported no such changes.
While the study did not look at whether meditation also led to reductions in anxiety and depression, previous research has shown that some forms of meditation, such as mindfulness, have anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects.
