Question 1

In 'mindful walking' videos, what is the instruction for placing the feet?

Accepted Answer

To feel each phase — heel strike, roll, toe-off — with deliberate slow attention

Answer

Mindful walking breaks the automatic gait into distinct sensory phases, anchoring attention in the body and the immediate environment.

Question 2

What is the 'STOP' technique often taught in short mindfulness video breaks?

Accepted Answer

Stop, Take a breath, Observe, Proceed — a quick reset for stressful moments

Answer

STOP is a micro-mindfulness technique that interrupts automatic stress reactions with a brief intentional pause and breath before choosing a response.

Question 3

What is 'urge surfing' as demonstrated in mindfulness videos for habit change?

Accepted Answer

Observing a craving as a wave of sensation that rises and falls without acting on it

Answer

Urge surfing uses mindful observation to ride out the peak of a craving, recognizing it as a temporary sensation rather than a command that must be obeyed.

Question 4

What does 'response flexibility' mean as used in mindfulness video teachings?

Accepted Answer

The ability to pause between stimulus and response, choosing a conscious reaction rather than reacting automatically

Answer

Response flexibility, linked to Viktor Frankl's work and neuroscience, is the capacity to insert a mindful pause between trigger and reaction, enabling intentional choices.

Question 5

In mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) videos, what is the 'cognitive defusion' technique?

Accepted Answer

Viewing thoughts as mental events rather than facts, reducing their emotional impact

Answer

Cognitive defusion helps practitioners step back from thoughts, seeing them as passing mental events rather than truths, which reduces their power to trigger distress.
