Does meditation improve focus?
Does meditation improve focus? A new study found that only 10 minutes of mindfulness meditation can provide measurable benefits in focus and productivity. The study involved 82 “highly anxious” college students and assigned them to a computer task that required sustained attention.
The students were then randomly assigned to a 10-minute meditation exercise or to a control group that did not meditate. The students assigned to the meditation group were able to shift their attention from their internal worries so that they could better focus on the task at hand.
This new study demonstrated how quickly and effectively a 10-minute meditation can help banish distracting worries that get in your way.
