Learning about neuroplasticity and mindfulness

"Click to hear narrated version of this page"

With frequent mindfulness practice, research shows that our brains are able to change and grow in a helpful way. Many studies have shown that parts of our brain that control our emotions, our attention and focus are really improved when we practise mindfulness often, as well as for longer periods of time.The research shows that managing our emotions, as well as making better decisions are also a result of these changes to our brain that come from our mindfulness practice.

Learning mindfulness when we have cancer can often help us to understand our thoughts a bit better. It may also help us with managing difficult emotions, as well as noticing some of the ordinary things we usually don't pay attention to. This can often be really nice (listening to the birds for example, or noticing the colour of the sky) and can brighten our day, even when things are difficult and challenging for us.

Practising mindfulness and noticing the positive things can help us not only with how we manage our self-care, but can also help with our mental health as well as the neuroplasticity of our brain.
