Conventional Wisdom

What is Mindfulness? “Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally … When we commit ourselves to paying attention in an open way, without falling prey to our own likes and dislikes, opinions and prejudices, projections and expectations, new possibilities open up and we have a chance to free ourselves from the straitjacket of unconsciousness.” Jon Kabat-Zinn.

Staying Present: Mindfulness A simple way to be present is to use your senses and your breath. “Dropping anchor” When you get distracted (which you will), gently acknowledge the distraction and bring back your attention.

Mindfulness Exercise

Benefits of Mindfulness for Older Adults Improved focus & concentration Enhanced quality of communication & relationships Increased peace of mind (Levey & Levey, 2006) Reduced stress (Gallegos, Hoerger, Talbot, Moynihan, & Duberstein, 2013) Decrease anxiety and depression (Williams & Wilkins, 2012) Improved pain management (Morone, Greco, & Weiner, 2008) Boosts immunity Better sleep (Black, 2015)
