Some studies have shown that mindfulness helps, but is it the actual "mindfulness" or is it the pause from life that helps? The alternative should not be to do nothing, but to for example take a slow walk or a nice shower. I'd bet that taking a walk would actually provide more benefits than meditation and mindfulness since it is coupled with exercise. Personally I have gotten nothing from mindfulness and meditation, however I do walk for about an hour a day and in general spend a lot of time without a goal.
- kranner 7y agoAs someone who has done a lot of both walking and meditation, I'd say they have orthogonal benefits.
