What is mindfulness training and how helpful is it in our daily lives? Recent research shows that learning mindfulness practices and meditation techniques help individuals pay attention in the present moment to minimise emotional reactivity and build resilience. It helps people prepare better and remain focused during build-up of stressful situations in their daily activities, work or relationships. By learning to be more attentive to their situation at any given time helps to put in place strategies to help diffuse potential problems.
Work and life have accelerated at a very fast pace in the 21st century. The problem with this is that many high-stress situations place demands on already full lives and increases stress levels. The moment we feel we cannot cope or get on top of our problems throws us off balance and leaves little time to develop our attentional resources and resilience techniques.
Another complication is technology which is driving high anxiety levels as people are becoming addicted to the next interruption, email, text or post. Many people are now looking to alternate methods such as mindfulness training practices to help them cope with their busy lives and work.
Mindfulness approaches have their origins in Yoga and Buddhism some 3,000 years ago. These approaches focus on the cultivation of mindful awareness through daily activities of mindfulness meditation practices. There are many different types of mindfulness practices, for example one such practice is Vipassana whose core practice focuses on internal awareness and body scan sitting meditations.
These meditation exercises and practices help people develop the availability of their attention resources, learn how to be better prepared, remain focused and less emotionally reactive to stresses that arise at any given moment.
With the shift in perspective mindfulness practices involve developing a set of mindful skills from which not only individuals but also professionals in the Corporate sector can benefit
