Are You Truly Being Mindful in Your Daily Life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s busy lifestyle we often lose track of the importance of \u201cjust being.\u201d\u00a0 When is the last time you sat quietly and listened to your own breathing, not thinking about the stresses of your day?\u00a0 The answer for most would be, rarely.\u00a0 Research is now showing that being mindful can help you reduce stress which in turn leads to a decrease in stress induced inflammation that a lot of us have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent study of students in a mindfulness class, it was shown that reading comprehension scores and the working memory capacity of these students improved tremendously.\u00a0 They also found that these students had fewer distracting thoughts and were able to distinguish between an emotional driven thought versus a simple thought.\u00a0 Distinguishing between the two thoughts allowed the students to look at emotionally driven thoughts as a project and something that could be worked on at another time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence they were better at prioritizing and focusing.\u00a0 We live in an age where we try to multi-task and in turn we feel more stressed and find it hard to prioritize to get things done.\u00a0 If we spent a little more time being mindful our society may be more productive and less stressed, leading to healthier individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
