Improving your daily life with mindfulness meditation | Jessica Kotik | TEDxKentState
Jessica’s talk is going to discuss the use of mindfulness meditation (a meditation technique which has you focus your attention on being in the moment) to improve well-being and academic success. Jessica believes this will fit in well with the theme as mindfulness meditation is a small technique that can be used as frequently or infrequently as one wishes, and still produces major benefits. Mindfulness meditation is a relatively new area of study in Psychology (only being around for about 35 years), yet it is producing such promising results such as an increase in anxiety, improvement in general well-being, decrease in negative emotions and feelings, and many other benefits. But there is so much potential for this technique as it is still being studied and we are learning more and more in the field. Jessica Kotik is a senior Psychology major here at Kent State University. She plans to attend graduate school for School Psychology. She is the President of the Psychology Peer Mentor Program, a mentor for the Provost’s Leadership Academy, and a sister of Sigma Delta Tau. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with friends, traveling, acting, and dancing. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
Can I add…? Using a natural, relaxing voice helps. Meditation, concentration, healing….all those processes (and more) need natural soundwaves. I really don’t know what happened to you, Americans, and you have adopted a robot-like way of speaking….but, please, try to reject that. It’s not useful, does not make you look smarter or trendier, it’s the exact opposite. It’s not therapeutical, and it makes a few others unable to follow, as this "robotic-high pitch voice" is extremely stressing…. Anyway…. Just a note…not an attack. Take care.
Well presented. An excellent presentation of a beginning mindfulness practice for one and all. Thank you.
Just got done meditating and this was a great Ted talk

Loved this! Just noticed the description under the video says ‘yet it is producing such promising results such as an INCREASE in anxiety’- i’m sure it does the opposite and REDUCES anxiety? Loved the TedX itself.
Yeah… That’s true if you know that mouslem always do that when they pray, we pray 5 times a day… And we always feel God atmosphere.

Yoga Education, on the other hand, aims at taking care of the individual. Changing lifestyle patterns can improve your health and ayurvedic herbal supplements from Planet Ayurveda can be really helpful in this keeping you healthy and mindful.

Hello from Scotland! 5 years on… thank you. This was very helpful! Keeping it short makes it accessible to many more people.
Her voice is so sweet and lovely.
Vipassana Meditation it is.
Thanks. It might be – reduce in anxiety, instead of …- producing such promising results such as an increase in anxiety, ( in description).
Thanks for the video

Do you breathe through your nose or your mouth during meditation?
Me: “Let’s practice mindfulness, 5 mins is all I need”
5 mins: YouTube ad starts playing “learn about finance blah blah” 🫠
