What does this have to do with dogs? Well, a lot. Our growing popularity of the Mindfulness based Behavior Modification Workshop centers around the humans ability to first be centered ourselves, to begin tackling the issues with the animals. A centered and calm human soul can find balance and recognize it in their pack much quicker! Join us for our next workshop in February1 Are we in the middle of a mindfulness revolution? Thats what the cover of TIME Magazines latest issue claims -- and it isnt without some merit. The piece dives into how the practice can help people find focus in our overwhelmed, always-on culture. With the persistent need to multitask and the constant pressure of having to be plugged in to technology at all hours, the practice has become more prevalent as a way to fight stress and anxiety. TIME editor Radhika Jones talked to Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski about how multitasking is affecting our concentration and how mindfulness can sharpen that lack of focus. Mindfulness, very simply put, its the ability to focus your attention on the thing you are doing when you are doing it, she said. It sounds so basic. And my guess is 150 years ago, people were not so concerned about mindfulness but we have kind of done this to ourselves. We have created some amazing technology that has enabled us to be on and do five things at once -- and we know, the studies show, that multitasking doesnt actually make you more productive. Jones went on to say that while mindfulness is built on the premise of meditation, theres also a way to weave the practice into everyday habits.
