How to make Mondays feel less draining

sudshr47 March 25, 2019

March Mindfulness is our new series that examines the explosive growth in mindfulness and meditation technology — culminating in Mashable’s groundbreaking competitive meditation bracket contest. Because March shouldn’t be all madness.

The Sunday Scaries suck, but Mondays often suck more. After a weekend of friends, family, and ideally, naps, you’re thrusted into deadlines, meetings, and spreadsheets. That’s one way to look at it, at least; another is to think of Mondays as a day to start fresh.

The DeStress Monday initiative uses that mentality to encourage users to press the refresh button with simple tools that will help them unwind every week. In doing so, they hope to help people start their Mondays in a positive way and then reduce stress throughout the rest of the week. Read more…

Crowdfunding Kickstarter March Mindfulness Mindfulness Vinyl Record

Would you buy a vinyl recording of 20 minutes of silence?

sudshr47 March 20, 2019

The sound of silence hasn’t been this popular since Simon and Garfunkel.

A Kickstarter campaign for a double-sided vinyl record containing 20 minutes of silence is the latest crowd-funding project that’s making noise. Eric Antonow and his 15-year-old son, Ben, decided the world could use some quiet.

And Kickstarter supporters agree. The duo has raised roughly $4,300 — seven times more than their $600 goal to produce the record. Their Kickstarter ends Wednesday. Read more…

Instagram’s ‘Hashtag Mindfulness’ boom: The good, the bad, and the ugly

sudshr47 March 18, 2019

Can simply “being mindful” while, say, sipping a kale smoothie, constitute a mindfulness practice? Some experts say, yes!

But what being mindful means to you — especially when you’re posting about that moment on Instagram — may constitute a different version of mindfulness than the one that has prompted medical studies and attracted serious adherents across the globe.

The recent explosion in popularity of mindfulness is a well-documented phenomenon. One place in particular where mindfulness — or what some people think of as mindfulness — is enjoying a boom is on Instagram. Currently, there are over 11.8 million posts tagged with the hashtag #mindfulness; there are hundreds of thousands more with variations like #mindful or #mindfulnesspractice. Read more…

How ‘neurosculpting’ can train your brain

sudshr47 March 1, 2019

March Mindfulness is our new series that examines the explosive growth in mindfulness and meditation technology — culminating in Mashable’s competitive meditation bracket contest. Because March shouldn’t be all madness.

Having sliced open my skull Hannibal Lecter style, I removed the familiar folded lump of still-pulsing pink matter — brains only turn gray when they die — and placed it on a wooden workbench. After massaging it for a while, I picked up a steak knife and started slicing neatly between the hemispheres like I’m on a cooking show. Wait, that couldn’t be good.

“Stop!” my sleeping mind screamed at the image. “What are you thinking?” Read more…
