What this episode covers

Could deliberately practising being in the moment for a few minutes a day help to increase your attention span? Science certainly seems to suggest so! In this episode, I explain the concept of mindfulness, a mental state of being present in the moment, without judgement or distraction, where you observe and acknowledge your thoughts and feelings, but don’t react to them. I explore the science behind why practising mindfulness can lead to improvements in your executive attention, and share 9 simple ways that you can incorporate a mindfulness practice into your daily routine.
