The analysis revealed five factors that appear to represent elements of mindfulness as currently conceptualized. The five facets are observing, describing, acting consciously, not judging the inner experience and not reactivity to the inner experience. Your mental health is as important as your physical health, and mindfulness has been repeatedly demonstrated to be an effective intervention for chronic stress and many other disorders. According to an in-depth analysis of research on mental health and mindfulness, mindfulness has been shown to improve quality of life in measures of depression, anxiety and coping skills.
Mindfulness can alter cognitive processes that cause mental health problems, increasing the positive effect and decreasing the negative effect. It is a literal and research-tested text: “Out with the bad and come out with the good result”.
