Counter-acts Stress
Often people let their environment demand a lot out of them. There are numerous deadlines to meet, bosses to please and family members to take care of.

Doing it consistently helps you to maintain a balanced life
Emotional Control
A mix of the wrong emotions can get you into trouble. But when you focus on building serenity, calmness, and peace, you become more balanced.
