Have you tried going 'inside'? Meditation can teach you to observe your own states as an outsider and affect them, kind of like hooking up a debugger to your own mental 'programs'. Once you notice yourself feeling stressed, firing up the debugger (AKA utilising your mindfulness training) and sorting through the contents of your mind can help you defuse it. Maybe you can even change a variable using your 'debugger' to improve the state of your 'programs' ;) It also helps you sleep, because the difficulties sleeping are controlled/helped by learning mindfulness. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5337506/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5337506/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6557693/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6557693/ https://www.vipassana.com/meditation/mindfulness_in_plain_english.html https://www.vipassana.com/meditation/mindfulness_in_plain_en...
