Podcast Notes:
In this episode, I talk about how more mindful people are less likely to pain catastrophize. Which means, they will create less pain from their brain. (Last Episode #69 I talked all about how fear causes the brain to PRODUCE more pain that you feel in the body- The Pain-Fear-Pain Cycle).
This week we dive into understanding mindfulness more by how they measure mindfulness in research.
Here are some statements reflecting low mindfulness:
*I could be experiencing some emotion and not be conscious of it until some time later.
*I break or spill things because of carelessness, not paying attention, or thinking of something else.
*I find it difficult to stay focused on what’s happening in the present.
*I tend to walk quickly to get where I’m going without paying attention to what I experience along the way.
*I tend not to notice feelings of physical tension or discomfort until they really grab my attention.
*I forget a person’s name almost as soon as I’ve been told it for the first time.
Here are some statements reflecting more mindfulness:
*I think before reacting under stressful situations.
*I can calm down soon after experiencing distressing thoughts and impulses.
*I can describe my feelings well.
*I can perceive emotions without reacting to them.
*I am aware of the bodily sensations when I take a bath.
*I can easily talk about my thoughts and opinions.
*I can watch my feelings without getting attached to them.
