Interventions

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Programme BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness involves paying attention to what is occurring in the present moment, noticing the particularity of that attention, and accepting without judgement all states of awareness. Mindfulness is important in moving individuals away from automatic thoughts, habits and unhealthy patterns of behaviour, and therefore can play an important role in promoting conscious and self-affirmed behavioural regulation, which has long been associated with enhancing well-being. Mindfulness is a way of regulating one's self, thoughts and awareness. It has been demonstrated to enhance the ability to remain present in the moment, arising through purposeful, momentary, non-judgemental attention to experience. Recently mindfulness appears to have a positive impact on helping people overcome addiction and psychological problems and providing effective techniques to manage them
