Why do I feel like meditation doesn't work for my stress?

Usually one of three reasons: (1) The meditation is too generic — ‘release your stress’ doesn’t help when the stress is about a specific conversation you need to have tomorrow. (2) You’re expecting meditation to remove the stressor, when its real job is lowering your physiological stress response so you can think clearly. (3) The timing is wrong — meditating after a stressful day can feel like adding another task. Try meditating between stressful events instead. StillMind addresses the first problem by creating sessions for your specific stressor, not stress in general.
