EAP: Mental Talks: Mindfulness & Mental Fitness

Aim:

To give information about the concepts of “ Mindfulness” and “Mental Fitness”,  the consequences on our health and wellbeing 

In our lives we often live on autopilot – we do several things at once and act on several tasks at the same time. It is very hard to balance work, home, finances and other urgent tasks. We loose the sense of the present moment and our thoughts are jumping chaotically. 

In fact, if we look at our daily routine, we rarely “attend” to our lives. Very often we have no time to notice the good things and fail to experience the moment.

One of the techniques that gives undoughted results is called ” “Mindfulness”. It gives you the possibility to train yourself how to pay attention to the world and how to experience it in the present moment.

There are many possible benefits of mindfulness including lowering stress, improving emotional regulation, boosting cognitive abilities, and strengthening relationships. Research has also shown that mindfulness can lead to changes in the structure and function of the brain. 

Mental fitness model is the other method to keeping your brain and emotional health in good shape. It doesn’t mean acing a test or practicing memory games or thinking puzzles, but rather exercises that keep you mentally well and build up your resilience to stress

As with physical fitness, mental fitness has far-reaching benefits.
