Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; On purpose, in
the present moment, and non-judgmentally. Jon Kabat Zinn (Professor of
Medicine Emeritus Stress Reduction Clinic and the Centre for
Mindfulness in Medicine).
The benefits of regular mindfulness are
? Reduced stress and anxiety
? Improved sleeping patterns
? Less self-judgement and more self-acceptance
? Greater feelings of joy and freedom
? Improved mental health
? Effective ways to work with difficult thoughts and emotions
Mindfulness helps you to keep your thoughts in the present moment. As
you practice, you tend to get better at calming the mind and keeping
things in perspective. Dr Grant Blashki is a practising GP and Beyond
