Abstract Middle-aged working women often experience heightened levels of stress and anxiety due to the simultaneous demands of professional responsibilities, household duties, and caregiving roles. Mindfulness has emerged as an accessible and effective psychological strategy for managing these challenges. This review examines research published between 2014 and 2024 to explore the effects of daily mindfulness practice on stress and anxiety among middle-aged working women. Findings from the reviewed literature consistently indicate that regular mindfulness practice, even when performed for brief durations, significantly reduces physiological stress responses, improves emotional regulation, and enhances overall psychological well-being. Mindfulness promotes present-moment awareness, reduces cognitive overload, and interrupts negative thought patterns, making it particularly beneficial for women managing multiple role expectations. The review also highlights the practical relevance of incorporating mindfulness into workplace wellness programs and personal self-care routines. Overall, daily mindfulness practice emerges as a simple, low-cost, and powerful tool for improving mental health and resilience in middle-aged working women. Future research should focus on long-term outcomes and culturally adapted mindfulness interventions to strengthen its applicability across diverse populations.
