Multitasking is our new normal, and our ability to focus is being challenged like never before. We’re constantly checking our emails, scrolling social media, consulting our endless to-do lists, and even watching KZbin videos, and, according to renowned psychologist Daniel Goleman, it’s slowing us down in more ways than one.
According to Goleman, a remedy for our fast-paced lives can be found in a simple, ten-minute exercise. He explains how a daily mindfulness practice can significantly enhance attention span, reduce the negative effects of multitasking, and help individuals remain concentrated and productive.
Goleman’s insights reveal how mindfulness meditation offers immediate stress reduction and a calmer mind, showcasing its potential benefits for people with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and enhancing focus in children facing challenging environments. Drawing from cognitive science and recent research, Goleman provides actionable advice for incorporating mindfulness into daily routines, aiming to improve mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall wellness.

Mindfullness, meditation and guided hypnosis train the frontal lobes to control the mid and lower brain areas. Practice strengthens the neural pathways. Neurons that fire together wire together. You can literally counteract unconscious, automatic stress or fear responses and rewire the brain. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist I have helped many people overcome fears, phobias , stress , anxiety and the results came about very quickly.

[@alisonburgess345]

Wow. That's a valuable comment! Thanks.

[@conniethornbury9464]

Incredibly interesting and hopeful. Thank you!

[@roysayantani]

Absolutely. Speaking from personal experience, I have been practising mindfulness daily for the last 2 months now and I see some apparent alterations in my way of thinking and behaviour. I used to be very anxious and stressed and irritated over meagre things but now I am unfazed by those kind of situations if not similar. It helps, however one must be patient(which is challenging, I understand). How to practice meditation for beginners: Find a quiet place(it can be a room, a spot in a park etc) Sit in an upward position or fold legs placing both your hands on your lap Take deep breaths(1, 2, 3 inhale. Hold the breath for 1,2,3 and exhale for 1,2,3) Keep doing it, focusing only on the flow of your breath Think of a word(Joy, Gratitude, Love, anything good) As you inhale imagine you are that word and let it permeate throughout your body Practice this for 10 minutes everyday

[@sweetlohlah]

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

Meditation is very beneficial especially if you meditate for 15 minutes when yo wake up and again for 15 minutes before bed. Do that for a month and you have a habit that will significantly improve your life and health in many ways. I have found that quieting your mind is profound as "Mental silence is the 'Kingdom of God." It's the deepest connection with the Divine that really benefits people. So I don't study mindfulness I practice as my mind is thoughtless most of the time because I have studied the deepest mediation and found the secret method to mental silence that most of the gurus don't even achieve. It is the closest I have found to a heavenly life on Earth. It opens you up to be a clear receiver of divine guidance, insight, spontaneity, divine intervention and miracles.

[@MochiColorsZanos]

[@onelife7247]

Agree on the most part but it’s vital not to confuse ADD with CPTSD as the observable behavioural symptoms can mimic each other. For example; when the amygdala is overactive; the prefrontal cortex, (the domain implicated in focus, attention and executive function), becomes impaired or seemingly immobilised as the amygdala struggles to prepare for “imminent danger or a perceived threat. That is why it is of paramount importance to get away from the people and environment associated with the original trauma so as not to get stuck in a cycle of re-traumatisation. Additionally you’ll find the calmest, most focused child will struggle to think clearly / focus in a volatile environment, e.g where their caregivers/siblings are constantly shouting. I have personally witnessed a remarkable transformation in the behaviour of children when they are afforded the time and patience from adults.

[@bburns]

Thanks for adding this perspective - I hadnt thought of the similarities between cptsd and adhd in that way. My mind is definitely hypervigilant - doesn't want to let down its guard and do mindfulness.

[@brightbridge9037]

I am grateful for coming across this video. My 18 yr old son has been struggling with Attention Deficit and special needs. For a few months now, we've got into the habit of daily practising breathing. I find I can observe when he gets off track. Now he can notice and recall it too. The latest thing is himself counting up to ten breaths - short inhale, long exhale - on his fingers. This simple tip coming from Daniel Goleman himself is very encouraging.

[@OnlineMD]

The great wisdom of Dr. Daniel Goleman is superbly documented in his book "Altered Traits" written along with Richard J. Davidson. He also co-authored "Why We Meditate" which is next on my reading list. I respectfully submit that 10 minutes a day is a great START, but maintaining mindfulness moment to moment is the lifelong goal. Lastly, about kids: American schools don't allow teaching of anything that pertains to "religion" which includes mindfulness. Christian radicals desperately want prayer in schools, and not the eternal wisdom of mindfulness. They think that meditation invites Satan into our minds. 'Nuff said.

[@hokubluesky4989]

Thank you, I’ll read that book thanks to your comment. So sad meditation is taken out from politically correct estremists. Even prayer would be much better than nothing, since it’s s moment of concentration and reflection

[@ruimesquita23]

@onlineMD, funnily enough, Christianity also had its share of meditation advocates at the beginning of the 20th century, with John Main in the UK. From what I recall from his writings, there were early Christians mentions of meditation practices in the Middle East

[@WorstDruidEU]

Of course they are against meditation and mindfulness, as it deconditions people from all the religious nonsense and frees people from it. I do agree that to keep the benefits, 10 minutes is not enough long term. Is a good start! I need 15 mins to just calm down and only around 30 minutes mark I get into the deep rest state. 10 mins wouldn't get me there

I have been doing it for 40-50 mins in one go before going to sleep almost a year. Nothing changed I would carve for distraction on first instance of stress/ anxiety / uncertainty. Edit - one benefit I had was I could go to sleep immediately. Usually I took more than 1 hour to sleep because of the restless mind.

[@lukefender94]

Have you tried practicing in the morning? Or a few shorter sessions during the day? He even said it in the video, that the benefits slowly fade out during the day so you do it again in the middle of the day

[@marra132]

How do you meditate? Because it is important to focus on the breath. Breath in breath out the nose and let the toughts just flow don't interact with your toughts. Only focus on breathing. If you do mindfullness it is a way to help yourself but if your problems are bigger you should really practice deeper meditation techniques.

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

Let go of your limiting statement, never say 'Nothing changed', as it is focusing on nothing changing. Instead notice any difference at all. My best friend said many times he didn't notice any difference and it doomed him to that reality. Look for what is different instead of what didn't change. Nothing changed is a trap so always say what you did notice what did change. Force yourself to do so so you break free of the 'No difference" sinkhole of your statement and belief.

I don't have a problem with other distracting thoughts diverting me temporarily AWAY from a work project; to the point where I actually interrupt myself and check other things like email, etc. My problem is failing to preemptively block distracting thoughts that occur during meditation. Mind chatter. And apparently most other people also have this. It's so disruptive. And I have found that the standard suggested ways to control this (like focusing on your breath) don't help. So Daniel, if you have at least a partial solution for that, please let us know. Thanks.

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

Put your awareness just above your head and think 'I surrender' as in surrendering to the divine and just kept bringing your attention above your head in a thoughtless awareness and it will slow down your thoughts.

[@bburns]

I think when you notice yourself getting caught up in thinking, you can just bring your attention back to your breath or mantra. It will keep happening, but that's okay. Practice helps over time.

[@proprgent]

Basically observing your thoughts without getting attached to them

[@Intensive_Porpoises]

Weren't you listening? 😏

[@sunbeam9222]

Observe your body reactions to thoughts, emotions, sensations as if you were a curious outsider. It helps to detach. And when you take enough distance so to speak you can better understand the mechanisms and connect with that space or presence that is neutral and peaceful in nature. You then will feel calmer and better equipped to assess whatever experience comes your way.

[@catatonicbug7522]

Start with finding a silent space with a comfortable chair. Sit and close your eyes. Focus your thoughts on only your breath. Feel the air rushing in through your nose. Feel your chest rising. Feel it fall, and feel the air rush back out of your nose. If your thoughts wander to anything else, recognize that fact and re-focus on your breath. Each breath is a chance to reset your focus. As you get better at avoiding the wandering of your mind, focus on something else like how your body feels against the chair, or how your socks feel against your legs. Stick with the breath focus for the first few months though.

Speaking on his behalf, because it is a bunch of nonsense from a guy, who hasn’t had first-hand experience with the issue, claiming a solution. A man who doesn’t have ADD/ADHD has no place in claiming advice. Second, he got ADD wrong. People with ADD are perfectly capable of sitting still and being quiet, it’s the ADHD ones who are always moving. Third, it’s unnatural for a kid to be forced to focus on anything for long periods of time. Kids naturally play and explore and have fun, not sit in one place all day. Most of the kids he probably labeled likely don’t even have the issues he claims they have. Finally, mindfulness can benefit a neurotypical, but can be disastrous in someone who isn’t. Especially when there’s trauma. All the years of yoga and meditation personally led to a psychotic break. So maybe instead of blindly accepting information, maybe consider doing some research from first-hand accounts to inform yourself.
