Več Kot Desetletje Po tem, Ko Je Greater G
Ta ugotovitev je bila izvedena v resničnem okolju menze: čuječi udeleženci so izbrali manj kalorične obroke in več solat kot nečuječi udeleženci, ki so imeli raje listnato pecivo s sirom in krofe.
Čuječnost – v tem primeru zgolj 12-minutna vaja brez meditacije – nam očitno omogoča, da se odklopimo od problematičnih hrepenenj in se tako odločimo za bolj zdrave stvari. Raziskovalci so podobno dinamiko odkrili pri želji po priložnostnem seksu in domnevajo, da bi se lahko uporabila tudi na mnogih drugih področjih – kjer koli bi lahko majhna oddaljenost od naših vzgibov ali fobij izboljšala vedenje.
»Zavedna pozornost ponuja obetavno in novo strategijo za samokontrolo,« zaključujejo.

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!
