On Low-Stress Days, Try Being Mindfully Hopeful
5:2:24 2024-09-14 893

The equanimity and acceptance associated with mindfulness don't usually translate into action, but hopefulness's fervor often does. Therefore, during desperate times, future-oriented hopeful thoughts will ultimately be more beneficial than dwelling on the here and now during mindfulness-based interventions.

This isn't to say that mindfulness doesn't have upsides. Living in the moment has certain advantages. Nevertheless, the latest (2024) research suggests that a hopeful outlook outshines a mindful disposition during prolonged periods of stress. However, when your stress levels aren't off the charts, being hopeful and mindful at various times throughout the day would be ideal.

Mindfulness and hopefulness can coexist. If present-focused mindfulness works for you most of the time, that's great. But if life throws you a curveball and you feel hopelessness creeping in, remember to cultivate hopefulness and hold on tight to the forward-thinking notion that no matter how bleak things seem right now, there's a brighter place somewhere up ahead that's reachable.
