I've been practicing mindfulness meditation everyday for a month now. If someone had told me a month ago that I'd ever feel happy again, I wouldn't have believed them. But, here after a month I am feeling much better, pretty much healed from all the trauma, anxiety, depression etc.

Be happy, and mindful, everyone!

"Mindfulness is not a mystical way of being, you don't have to be a monk or a millionaire. Very simply, mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment, on purpose, with an attitude of non judgment." (9:23).
good speech!

People get confused and punish themselves realizing their mind has wandered. In actuality you should be happy when you realize the mind has wandered, because you can bring it back. That’s where the neuroplasticity and the change happens.
This change in perspective helped me the most. Be nice to yourselves!

Its such a beautiful lecture. he said the same thing as every other speaker who promotes meditation but there is something in his presentation that kept me hooked on to the end of the video.

One of the best TED talks ever. (and I didn't comment while listening)

I recommend trying mindfulness meditation for helping with stress and anxiety, it has certainly helped me. There is a lot of research backing it up. The studies show that mindfulness reduces stress, anxiety, depression, makes you more happy, present, and deal with everyday situations better. The prefrontal cortex and hippo-campus (focus and memory) become thicker and denser, the amygdala (which is associated with fear and anxiety) shrinks.

Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.

thank you for explaining the importance of mindfulness in an easy to understand way. shook that people prefer shock over silence. we need to start the conversation about mindfulness and empathy, we all struggle.

My three year old daughter asks to listen to this every single night when I put her to bed. We lay together and listen to the beautiful music and the peaceful rain. She has never been able to stay awake long enough to hear the music after 5 minutes. It knocks her out every single tim

Before meditation i always wander in my thoughts.
It was funny because i create incredible historys that i can only create when i have time, i love fantasize about everything.

Mindfullnes help me a lot to be happier in the present, but it's not like i was sad in my thoughts.
So maybe it's not so much the thought the problem but what it was about.
After all in your mind you can be the rich and poor depending what you imagine.

Very informative talk! I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for months now. I struggle to fall asleep, get woken up easily and feeling lethargic at every waking moment. My muscles are always engaged and contracted which makes me sweat very easily whenever i am put in the spotlight. I feel powerless to change my situation and i keep going back to doom scrolling or binge watching youtube despite knowing that it will only worsen my situation.

But from today onwards, i will practice mindfulness throughout the day and have a 15 minutes meditation session before going to bed. Hopefully i can follow through with these habits and turn my life around.
