Mindfulness Training

mindfulness training can protect against lapses in attention that might arise over high stress. Over a high stress interval, unfortunately, the realities, if we don't do anything at all, attention declines. People are worse at the end of this high stress interval than before. But if we offer mindfulness training, we can protect against this. They stay stable, even though, just like the other groups, they were experiencing high stress. And perhaps even more impress is that if people take our training programmes over, let's say, eight weeks, and they fully commit to doing the daily mindfulness exercises, well they actually get better over time. This suggests to us that mindfulness exercises are very much like physical exercise
