How to Be Mindful Flashcards
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulnessis a type of meditation in which a person focuses on being intensely aware of what they are sensing and feeling in the moment without interpretation or judgment.
What is Duration, Path, and Outcome?
These arethe three subjects of the focused brain interest: “How long will it take?” “What is the way through?” “What is ultimately gonna happen?”
Which type of thoughts is counterproductive during the break?
Thinking about the DPO during the break is counterproductive. On the other hand, mindfulness includes freedom from internal monologue. Activities such as playing chess or scrolling social media are not the correct way how to relax during the workday. The relaxing person is interested in Just Being during the breakout rather than Doing. As an example, uniting with nature is about just being.
What are the benefits of being mindful in the Doing mode?
Mindfulness at work means a person just does their job without any thought about the DPO. In fact, the rush will not create any significant benefit. Mindful workers put more care into small subjects. In addition, mindful workers are less affected by distractions. The rush will not create any significant benefit.
Is slowing down counterproductive?
The mindful approach for performing active jobs without privacy is to slow down throughout the day. Just to keep doing things slowly in the morning and during breakouts.
Are breathing techniques efficient?

Mindfulness helps to be with both people and subjects? (yes/no)
