Awesome Mindfulness With Jon Kabat Zinn – Watch the master of mindfulness and learn how you can better connect with yourself and the world.
ozziegontang's insight:

Mindfulness goes beyond improving emotion regulation. An exercise in mindfulness can also help with that plague of modern existence: multitasking. Of course, we would like to believe that our attention is infinite, but it isn’t. Multitasking is a persistent myth. What we really do is shift our attention rapidly from task to task. Two bad things happen as a result. We don’t devote as much attention to any one thing, and we sacrifice the quality of our attention. When we are mindful, some of that attentional flightiness disappears as if of its own accord.

I love the quote: It takes time to heal. Give time, time.
When someone works too hard, or trains too hard, there is a diminishing return. For those that talk about multi-tasking, the research shows that it isn't multitasking, it the ability to switch from one focus to another. The end result is that one does not do as well as someone who focuses on one thing at a time.
