Mindfulness

It is the best stress buster, hands down.

It is the activation of prefrontal lope and gives you a center not affected by emotions.

Whenever there is threat, we will automatically have emotions.

Emotion is a warning signal hardwired to body.

However it is damaging to body. We need emotion as warning sign but cannot let it affect us.

Emotion is linked to the limbic system, read "A General Theory of Love".

Prefrontal lope is another module of the brain and is separate from limbic system.

We can shift our self locus there.

Mindfulness is actually activation of will power. And without it, we are slaves to natural instincts like fear, stress, anger, nervousness etc. It is hard to get things done when there is difficulty because we are controlled by impulses.

Mindfulness frees us to do what we want to do irrespective of the obstacles and pain in our way.

Mindfulness however must work together with fight your enemies and be the best in your work. It cannot work alone.

However I am not sure which one is more effective, emotional counterbalancing or mindfulness. Which one is easier to perform and allow to perform it practically.

Mindfulness I am referring to the buddhist system.
