What is Mindfulness?
- Mindfulness means you focus on what is happening now, practice nonjudgment, and do whatever you are doing with intention and purpose.
- The practice is not religious or spiritual unless you want it to be.
- It’s about thinking before speaking, acting with awareness, creating inner peace, and changing our brain structure to manage life more effectively
- A mental state is achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.
- Mindfulness techniques can include mindful breathing, mindful eating, mindful walking, body scans, or guided meditations. By cultivating mindfulness, individuals can develop a greater sense of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and mental clarity, leading to increased resilience and a more balanced and fulfilling life.

What are some common objections or misconceptions people have about mindfulness?
- Mindfulness is religious or spiritual: While mindfulness has roots in Buddhism, the practice itself is secular and can be beneficial to individuals regardless of their religious or spiritual beliefs. Mindfulness programs focus on cultivating present-moment awareness, emotional regulation, and stress reduction, which can be universally helpful.
- Mindfulness is time-consuming: Some team members may worry that participating in a mindfulness program will be time-consuming or interfere with their busy schedules. However, mindfulness can be practiced in a variety of ways and durations, including short, focused exercises that can be easily integrated into daily routines.
- Mindfulness is just about relaxation: While relaxation can be a byproduct of mindfulness practice, the primary goal is to cultivate a non-judgmental awareness of the present moment. Mindfulness helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, enabling them to respond more effectively to stress and challenges.
- Mindfulness is only for people with mental health issues: Although mindfulness can be helpful for individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression, it is also beneficial for those who want to enhance their overall well-being, improve focus, and develop emotional resilience.
- Mindfulness is a quick fix: Mindfulness is not a one-time solution but rather a continuous practice that requires commitment and effort. The benefits of mindfulness tend to accumulate over time as individuals develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation skills.
- Mindfulness is passive or indulgent: Some may view mindfulness as self-indulgent or passive. In reality, mindfulness encourages active engagement with one’s experiences, promoting self-awareness, self-compassion, and personal growth.
Is there research to support the efficacy of mindfulness training?
Yes.
Here are three research studies that highlight the success of mindfulness practices in healthcare settings, including dentistry:
Shapiro, S. L., Schwartz, G. E., & Bonner, G. (1998). Effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction on medical and premedical students. Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 21(6), 581-599.
This study examined the effects of an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program on medical and premedical students. The results demonstrated significant reductions in self-reported anxiety, depression, and stress among participants, suggesting that mindfulness training can be effective in improving mental well-being among healthcare professionals.
Dehlin, J. M., & Finkelstein, M. (2017). Mindfulness, perceived stress, and subjective well-being: A correlational study in primary care health professionals. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 17(1), 338.
This study explored the relationship between mindfulness, perceived stress, and subjective well-being in a sample of primary care health professionals. The findings showed a strong negative correlation between mindfulness and perceived stress, and a positive correlation between mindfulness and subjective well-being. This supports the idea that mindfulness practices can be beneficial for healthcare professionals in managing stress and promoting well-being.
Mousavi, S. S., & Mousavi, S. S. (2019). Mindfulness training and quality of life among dental practitioners: A randomized control trial. Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects, 13(1), 9-14.
This study investigated the impact of an 8-week mindfulness training program on the quality of life of dental practitioners. The participants who underwent mindfulness training showed significant improvements in their overall quality of life, general health, and mental health scores compared to the control group. The findings suggest that mindfulness training can be a valuable tool for enhancing the well-being of dental professionals.
