[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 280, member: 1"] [URL='http://www.bbc.com/capital/story/20180802-why-everything-you-thought-about-mindfulness-may-not-be-true'][B]What you're getting wrong about mindfulness - BBC[/B][/URL] Companies are investing huge sums in mindfulness programmes for employees, but could these be having unintended results? Meditation has long shed its Buddhist roots to become a secular answer to all of our ills in the West, with numerous studies finding benefits like reduced stress and better concentration. Some of the world’s biggest firms, including Google and Nike, have embraced the practice, using meditation programmes as a way of tackling stress, staff turnover and absenteeism. Meditation is also used as a tool to motivate workers, partly thanks to research on the relationship between wellbeing and productivity. But a new study suggests that mindfulness meditation, a popular type of meditation that practises being aware in the present, may not be the best way to increase your motivation at work. [/QUOTE]
