By now you have most likely heard about the rewarding benefits of mindfulness and meditation, but were you aware that it physically alters your brain to help boost your performance in life? Researchers from the University of British Columbia found out that mindfulness makes changes to eight different parts of the brain, with significant increases in density of brain tissue and brain activity in two different regions responsible for self-control and resilience in the face of challenges. The findings provide concrete evidence that the benefits of mindfulness are real and display why more and more people are beginning to engage in mindfulness and meditation. Here are some more findings about the positive effects of mindfulness and how to help you fit mindfulness into your busy schedule.
