MENTAL BENEFITS

 

Do you get anxious about feeling anxious?

Mindfulness is a scientifically proven technique that calms both the sympathetic (stress) and parasympathetic (rest) nervous system. 

This 9-minute Ted Talk by Andy Puddicombe explains the benefits of doing 10-minutes of nothing per day.

This 2-minute animation is a story version about the 2 wolves - the long version. 

The 4-point challenge by Psychologist Dr. Tracey Marks are:

1. Be aware.

2. Do one thing at a time - no multitasking.

3. Be intentional.

4. Listen when others are talking.

These mindfulness techniques reduce anxiety, alleviate depressive symptoms, and enhance overall emotional resilience.
