Going deep into #SenseForaging, Had a great chat with Tim Doyle on the Outwork podcast about how our identify is built up from sensation rather than thought. Feel free to check it out!

This study helps validate mindfulness to meaning theory, establishes a dose response boundary on when decentering leads to new meanings (might take closer to a month than a week), and shows positive engagement with chatbots designed to coach participants on mindfulness and value reflection.
The mindfulness-to-meaning theory suggests that decentering leads to new meanings, a process known as 'reappraisal', but growth in reappraisal was only evident after the 4 week (but not 1 week) intervention.
We found that compared to a 'check-in only' control condition, both mindfulness exercises and more western-style reflection on core values reduced sstress over time. This effect was primarily driven by improved decentering, the ability to become aware and reflect on thoughts and feelings.
