Episode S3E7 - Mindfulness Part II: What science can prove
In our second episode on mindfulness, we take another look at Altered Traits by Daniel Goleman & Richard Davidson to see what science can show us about the effects of mindfulness. The authors take a look at the history of what brain research can prove when it comes to the beneficial effects of practicing mindfulness. We explore some of the proven benefits such as:
• Lowering amygdala response. • Reducing the intensity of pain. • Preventing burn out. • Lowering cortisol levels. • Preventing emotional hijacking. • Better executive function control.
• Paying attention. • Organizing, planning, and prioritizing. • Starting tasks and staying focused on them to completion. • Understanding different points of view. • Regulating emotions.
• Improving all types of attention & ignore distractions. • Reducing personal melodrama. • Increase in "flow" state where people perform at their best. • Reduce "stickiness" of our thoughts, emotions, and impulses.
