Mindfulness
Dec 14 / 2014
Anderson Cooper reports on what it's like to try to achieve "
mindfulness," a self-awareness scientists say is very healthy, but rarely achieved in today's world of digital distractions.
The following is a script from "
Mindfulness" which aired on Dec. 14, 2014.
Anderson Cooper is the correspondent.
Denise Schrier Cetta, producer.
Matthew Danowski , editor.
Our lives are filled with distractions -- email, Twitter, texting we're constantly connected to technology, rarely alone with just our thoughts. Which is probably why there's a growing movement in America to train people to get around the stresses of daily life.
It's a practice called "
mindfulness" and it basically means being aware of your thoughts, physical sensations, and surroundings.
Tonight, we'll introduce you to the man who's largely responsible for mindfulness gaining traction. His name is
Jon Kabat-Zinn and he thinks mindfulness is the answer for people who are so overwhelmed by life, they feel they aren't really living at all.
