I have always thought that being judgemental or picky will result in being more high stress and suffer greater emotional fluctations. Looks like I am right.
Recent study at the University of Vermont’s Department of Psychology shows that among 154 young adults at their early 20s, there is a significant association between certain mindfulness skills and high levels of both negative affectivity (also known as neuroticism) and anxiety sensitivity.
Basically, the more anxiety a person experiences, the less they will be able to practice mindfulness skills. In general, mindfulness is a key element of Eastern spiritual practices such as Buddhism. More research is needed to show a definite link, but intuitive wisdom suggests that mindfulness skills lead to a healthier, happier emotional state.
What are [tag-tec]mindfulness skills[/tag-tec]? According to the scale used by the researchers performing the study, mindfulness skills include awareness, acceptance, description, and act. Awareness is the ability to observe without judgment what is going on around and inside of the individual. When someone has awareness, they can sit back and recognize both internal and external events. Acceptance is the ability to deal with what is really going on, saying, This is what is, without placing judgments of good or bad on the situation. Description is the ability to put words to those events. It’s the ability to use language to describe one’s feelings and thoughts and the events that triggered those feelings and thoughts. Act is simply that; the ability to take action after conscious, mindful deliberation.
