The Aspirin Metaphor: Using Mindfulness Meditation On-The-Spot When Needed to Reduce Anxiety and Stress 

발표 내용

We propose and empirically validate a new on-the-spot state approach to mindfulness in which meditation is used contingently when people notice they are highly stressed. 

Our results indicate that the benefits of mindfulness (reduced anxiety and stress) can be attained with short on-the-spot meditations in stressful situations, even in the absence of long-term meditation practice; people can meditate like popping an aspirin when they have a headache.
