Mindfulness Meditation, or working with the breath and
releasing thoughts as they arise, has been very helpful to me for many
years. The health, cognitive, and
emotional benefits of this practice are well documented. But sometimes, to the horror of my teachers,
I pull out a notepad and start paying closer attention to the thoughts skipping
through my mind during meditation periods, turning each meditation into a
period of contemplation on goals and intentions. Meditation has demonstrated that it makes us
more open to more ideas, and more noticing of novel thoughts. So why not put this to use every once in a
while?

I had an article published on PsychCentral about medication non-compliance and how it effects the costs of healthcare and health insurance. See it here.
