Applying mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practice of observing our mind's activity and is the antidote to worry.Mindfulness results in increased attention, better working memory, and an awareness of mind while enriching the neural connections of the brain.

Mindfulness

We worry because our pre-conditioned mind cannot be left alone. Like a motor that cannot be switched off, the mind keeps running, performing background thinking at all times.Studies show people would rather prefer to be electrocuted with mild electric shocks than to just sit in a room doing nothing.

The mind always needs something

As it turns out. Our brains are continually imagining futures that will meet our needs and things that could stand in the way of them. And sometimes any of those needs may be in conflict with each other.Worry is when that vital planning gets the better of us and occupies our attention to no good effect.

Humans are wired to worry

A new year brings both hopes and anxieties. We want things to be better for ourselves and the people we love, but worry that they won't be, and imagine some of the things that might stand in the way. More broadly, we might worry about who's going to win the election, or even if our world will survive.
