What is MINDFULNESS?
I could organize this book in such a way that you would have to come to mindfulness. I could talk about how bad stress is, or I could talk about neuroscience.
But I'll get to that later. What you probably want to know right off the bat is what mindfulness is - where does it come from, and how can you use it to get a little more calm and relaxation in your life?
We'll look at that first and, from there, we'll delve into how you can use some more technical neuroscience to tap into the deeper capabilities of your brain....
What exactly is MINDFULNESS?
Basically, MINDFULNESS is a form of meditation that has been adopted by CBT. CBT, in turn, is a "cognitive behavioral therapy", a psychotherapeutic approach that can be used to treat all kinds of psychological disorders, such as anxiety, phobias, addictions, etc.
MINDFULNESS essentially provides us with a tool that we can use not only to calm our thoughts and escape the stressors of the day, but also to reflect on the content of our mind for the sake of self-improvement.
