Greater Good Aldizkariak errukiaren,
aurkikuntza hau benetako kafetegi batean gertatu zen: parte-hartzaile kontzienteek kaloria gutxiagoko otorduak eta entsalada gehiago aukeratu zituzten parte-hartzaile ez-kontzienteek baino, azken hauek gazta-horizpiak eta erroskilak nahiago izan baitzituzten.
Mindfulness-ak —kasu honetan, meditaziorik gabeko 12 minutuko ariketa soil bat— gure irrikak arazoetatik aldentzeko eta, horrela, aukera osasungarriagoak egiteko aukera ematen diguela dirudi. Ikertzaileek antzeko dinamika aurkitu zuten sexu kasualaren nahiarekin, eta espekulatzen dute beste hainbat esparrutan ere aplika daitekeela, gure irriketatik edo fobietatik pixka bat urruntzeak portaera hobetu dezakeen edozein arlotan.
«Arreta kontzienteak autokontrolerako estrategia itxaropentsu eta berritzailea eskaintzen du», ondorioztatzen dute.

I am one of those older Americans who are less happy with the direction our society/culture has gone. Yes, we have to deal with many problems just as other generations have, but the pace of change toward individualism and interruptive technologies is outpacing the ability of the human mind to adapt. We simply were not cut out for this pace, nor for this culture.
Mindfulness certainly helps (as many sages have shown), but as another article highlighted in Daily Good shows, human connections are the most basic thing that we need in order to have meaningful and healthy lives.
Can we slow the rate of "progress?" Maybe not for now, but I strongly believe that our culture is headed for a forced reset that, while difficult, may be just what we need to in order to live more meaningful, healthy, and happy lives. Not "going back to the good ol' days," but going forward to a more meaningful and humane way of living - less materialistic and more inter-connected.
Peace, and Happy New Year!
