Mindfulness in Your
Business
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a psychological concept that defines a state
in which it is about paying attention to the present moment, as is, without
concessions or judgments.
More broadly, mindfulness is the practice of being mindful
of the current moment, observing the thoughts, emotions, and sensations of the
present, without any judgments, allowing them to flow freely and avoiding
internal ruminations.
What is mindfulness
based on?
Mindfulness is based on a meditation technique from India,
called Vipassana, which consists of becoming aware of the present moment in
which we find ourselves.
Starting in the 70s, this technique was applied to
psychological and psychiatric treatments, especially aimed at reducing anxiety
and depression.
Jon Kabat-Zinn, professor of medicine, introduced a series
of approaches to the Western world for therapeutic purposes. He is the creator
of the mindfulness-based stress reduction method.
