Deceptive brain messages
Any false or inaccurate thought or any
unhelpful or distracting impulse, urge, or
desire that takes you away from your true
goals and intentions in life
i.e. your true self.
![Page 6: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The brain puts out the
call, the mind decides
whether to listen
![Page 7: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
● Meta-cognition – thinking about what you’re thinking
● Meta-attention – paying attention to what you’re paying attention to
● Meta-awareness – being aware about HOW you are being aware
![Page 8: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
True Self
Living according to your true self means seeing yourself for who you really are based on your sincere striving to embody the values and achieve the goals you truly believe in.
It includes approaching yourself, your true emotions and needs, from a loving, caring, nurturing perspective that is consistent with how your loving inner guide (Wise Advocate) sees you.
![Page 9: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Your Wise Advocate
The aspect of your attentive mind
that can see the bigger picture,
including your inherent worth,
capabilities and
accomplishments.
![Page 10: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Your Wise Advocate
Knows what you are thinking, can see the deceptive brain messages for what they are and where they came from, understands how you feel (physically & emotionally) and is aware of how destructive and unhealthy your habitual, automatic responses have been for you.
The wise advocate wants the best for you, it loves and cares for you, so it encourages you to value your true self and make decisions in a rational way based on what is in your overall best interest in the long-term.
![Page 11: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is mindfulness?
● An activity
● A state of mind○ While it eventually can become a way of being and a state
of mind, it does not start out that way. You can’t just be 'in
the zone' without effort.
● Awareness○ What is happening right now
● Focus○ Consciously directing your attention
● Acceptance
![Page 12: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Non-judgemental?
Mindfulness is in fact BOTH non-judgmental and
judgmental
● With respect to thoughts, impulses, urges,
desires, interests, preferences and so on,
mindfulness certainly is non-judgmental
● However, this does not mean anything goes in
terms of our behaviors... we can and should
judge our actions and plans
![Page 13: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Components of mindfulness
● Direct knowing and deep experiential awareness
● Being knowledgeable about what is happening in this moment as it is happening
● Approaching your experiences and feelings through direct observation, rather than through thoughts and concepts that cloud your perceptions
![Page 14: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Behavioural
James Gross has shown that suppressing emotional reactions/responses does not work:
● Increases blood pressure and heart rate in the subject
● Decreases memory of events/encoding new memories
● Increases blood pressure of those around you
![Page 15: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mindfulness
A practical way to learn mindfulness...
Use the Four Steps:
1. Relabel 2. Reframe 3. Refocus 4. Revalue
![Page 16: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Mindfulness
Let's practice...
![Page 18: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Mindfulness works
In summary, any approach that allows you to:
1. Make mental notes/increase awareness2. Reinterpret the meaning or significance of
events3. Selectively focus your attention will lead to
positive changes in the brain, most importantly...
![Page 19: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mindfulness works
These brain changes result in:
● Decreased distress, anxiety and depression● Allowing for more rational decisions/actions by
increasing voluntary, conscious emotion regulation (and symptom management)
Modalities can include meditation, labeling affect, reframing or selective attention
![Page 20: Mindfulness, the Brain & Business (September) - Presented by Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz and Josephine Thomson, MCC](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052505/5550bfc3b4c905fa618b518e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Mindfulness works
Understanding that your brain has been activating in unhelpful ways and that you, through mindfulness and related skills, can change how your brain function in positive ways.
This helps people become more motivated and empowered to change their brain to work for them, rather than against them.
