Mindfulness is becoming increasingly popular, even though some people are not convinced about all the benefits that it brings to our lives. However, some scientific studies prove that it can be effective if we take it seriously.

Mindfulness is a discipline that has been around for thousands of years and has gained special attention from the business field because it can increase our capacities and reduce stress. Here we are going to tell you five scientifically-proven benefits that it can bring to our lives, no matter if you are in the business world or not.

1. It can prevent or treat depression

The American Psychological Association has said that psychiatric programs that combine mindfulness, yoga, or meditation with conventional therapies can bring a lot of benefits to people that are at risk of suffering from depression, or if they are currently suffering from depression, it can help them to overcome it. This happens when mindfulness is combined with elements from mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

2. It can increase body satisfaction

Some studies done on people, who suffered from body dissatisfaction and received mindfulness training, showed that they experienced a greater reduction in body dissatisfaction and a better quality of life.

3. It can improve cognition

A study published in the Consciousness and Cognition Journal in 2010 and conducted on 24 people that received mindfulness sessions, showed that people improved their memory, their executive functions, and other cognition functions.

4. It can reduce anxiety

A Massachusetts General Hospital study conducted on 93 people who suffered from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) received an eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy and they showed a significant anxiety reduction.

Mindfulness helps with anxiety because it teaches us how we can respond to what is happening in the present rather than acting according to our instinct without understanding our emotions.

5. It can improve concentration

Some studies have shown that practicing mindfulness improves the alpha rhythm in the brain, which is responsible for the process of touch, sight, and sound in the outermost layer of the brain called the cortex, which helps to suppress irrelevant or distracting sensations and regulate the flow of sensory information between brain regions, which translates to a better concentration capacity.
