Mindfulness and the acceptance of the unfair

For those of you that also read Eating Coach, you will already know what a huge proponent of Mindfulness Training I am. 

This article from Biosingularity, discusses how mindfulness training effects decision making -- moving away from the more emotional areas of the brain and increasing the ability of the brain to make a decision based on more rational information of the present moment.

Eating too much, impulsively buying things we can't afford, acting out because life isn't fair -- all of these seemingly hard to control impulses might be brought under better management with mindfulness training.

At best, it could change your life -- at worst, you've devoted some time to a undertaking that didn't pan out.  Might just be worth a try!
