What Mindfulness Actually Is and How to Use It Daily EP 19

Welcome back to the Conscious Edge podcast! I'm Alecia St. Germain, and in this episode, I had the pleasure of diving deep into the concept of mindfulness with our resident wellness expert and my longtime friend, Jonathan Dugger. Mindfulness is more than just a trending buzzword—it's an ancient practice with the potential to transform how we live, work, and think.  Mindfulness Explained: Mindfulness is an ancient practice that helps improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being by being fully present in the moment. Mindfulness vs. Hustle Culture: Find out why multitasking doesn’t work. Mindfulness encourages focusing on one task at a time for better productivity and less stress. Scientific Benefits: Hear about the research that shows how mindfulness physically alters the brain, reducing stress responses and increasing creativity, memory, and language abilities. Practical Exercises: Simple mindfulness practices that anyone can do in just a few minutes, such as paying attention to your senses during daily tasks, can help build awareness and presence in everyday life. Mindfulness in Business: Incorporate mindfulness into your routine to improve focus, reduce overwhelm, and better decision-making in both personal and professional contexts. Ongoing Practice: Mindfulness is a skill that requires practice, but the benefits are significant and can positively impact various aspects of life. Mindfulness is a valuable tool for achieving balance and effectiveness in a busy world, especially for business owners and high achievers.
