Attention and Awareness Sample Clauses

Attention and Awareness. Over the last two decades, mindfulness-related interventions have become increasingly popular across a range of domains from healthcare, sport performance, and business. These interventions and therapeutic approaches, promote the practice as part of physical and mental well- being. Different mindfulness-related interventions have matured such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, 2004), mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2000) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR; ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, 1994). These therapies have been designed specifically to focus one’s attention on the present experience in a way that is non-judgemental (Chiesa & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2011). With the interest in mindfulness evolving and becoming even more prevalent in the world we live in today, so do studies investigating mindfulness applications to sport (Mumford, 2015). Yet, the research is still relatively limited to adult populations. Attention and awareness are constantly referred to during sport performance. To date it has been highlighted that when athletes adopt a skill-focus of attention, it can impair performance, and when athletes become too conscious of the execution of the skill, helpful/debiliative thoughts may appear, and choking may then occur (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2008). Attention and awareness are consistent features of normal functioning (▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, 2003); mindfulness can allow athletes to experience an enhanced awareness and attention that allows individuals become more attuned to the current or present experience. ▇▇▇ et al., (2007) have suggested that mindfulness training can enhance an athlete’s attention subsequently allowing for performance improvements. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and colleagues (2004) also suggest that mindfulness training can improve the self-regulation of attention. As well as shown to have huge beneficial impact, mindfulness can be considered an “enhanced awareness and attention of a current experience” (▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, 2003, p. 822). Mindfulness also allows an individual to become more self-aware, addressing the internal state, consisting of physical sensation (such as pain, tingling, tightness, itching, burning, numbness etc.) and psychological experiences including thoughts and feelings. Awareness of behaviour is also important as this allows for observation of actions in response to thoughts and feelings (▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, 2016). Many studies (▇▇▇ et al., 2007; ▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008) have shown that mindfulness improves aspects of a...
