Mindfulness practices can really change how we think and feel. Here’s how they work:
Awareness: When we pay attention to our negative thoughts, we can notice them without judging ourselves. This helps us make changes.
Reframing: Mindfulness helps us change the way we think about these thoughts. Instead of saying, “I failed,” we can say, “I learned something new.”
Emotional Control: Practicing mindfulness regularly helps us manage our feelings better. This can lead to less anxiety and more positive feelings.
Brain Changes: Research shows that mindfulness can actually change parts of our brain that control emotions. For example, it increases activity in the prefrontal cortex.
By practicing mindfulness, we shift our focus and develop positive emotions and strength to handle challenges better.
