Here’s your daily boost snapshot:

• A study aimed to review and analyze the available research on mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR)

• 15 affirmations on being fully present

Researchers found 20 high-quality studies that supported the claims of MBSR's effectiveness in improving physical and mental well-being

Feeling stressed? Who isn't these days? But what if we told you there's a way to alleviate that suffering without popping pills or downing a bottle of wine? Enter mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) – a fancy way of saying "paying attention to the present moment."

Here's what the science says about MBSR:

🧠 MBSR is a structured group program that uses mindfulness meditation to help with physical, psychosomatic, and psychiatric disorders.

🔍 A meta-analysis of 20 studies found that MBSR can help improve physical and mental well-being in a wide range of clinical and nonclinical populations.

🌟 The results showed similar effect sizes of approximately 0.5, meaning that MBSR can help a broad range of individuals cope with their problems.

So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath and try some mindfulness. It might just be the secret weapon you need to shield yourself from stress.🛡️

MINDFULNESS IS GAINING RESPECT, AND POSSIBLY GAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE

Professor Blair T. Johnson and collaborators from Brown University are conducting a five-year meta-analysis on the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) interventions. The study is funded by a $3.1 million grant from the NIH's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.

Here’s the details :

• The goal is to determine the effectiveness of MBSR in improving mental and physical health, as well as identifying the best approaches for various conditions.

• Johnson believes that strong research supporting MBSR's health benefits could lead to increased insurance coverage for intensive mindfulness programs, making them more accessible to patients.

• Mindfulness is gaining respectability in the medical and healthcare establishment, and the research aims to clarify its effects and long-standing efficacy.

• The interest in mindfulness research has led to an influx of researchers and students in Johnson's lab, making significant contributions to the work.
