Mindfulness meditation is a growth of a person's perception in the present moment and some people think it is a unique way to overcome anxiety and discover greater wisdom in our mind. A person practicing this meditation tries to get rid of all unwanted thoughts, focus on the present ones, focus on attention and breathing. Some contemporary psychotherapists suggest that we can train our mind by practicing mindfulness meditation. Often, almost all people catch themselves with thoughts that move from the present to the past and the future. This is called mind wandering. This can be very distracting when a person is trying to concentrate on a certain task. Of course, people who experience less mind wandering have demonstrated greater mindfulness, and previous studies have shown that practicing mindfulness meditation for even eight minutes can increase and decrease mind wandering (Hafenbrack, 2013). In the study Debiasing the Mind Through Meditation: Mindfulness and the Sunk -Cost Bias, researchers investigate how mindfulness meditation affects our sunk cost biases, which means people's tendency to continue investing money, time, or effort into something just because they have already invested a lot of money, time or effort (Hafenbrack, 2013 ). By definition, the sunk cost situation is an event that happened in the past, so when we do not return to the past with our thoughts, according to the law of balance our thoughts are more focused on the present time, which positively affects our attention and on the decision-making process. . Recent studies have also shown that thinking about future events (which may not even happen) can negatively influence people's attention in the present moment because "they are influenced by the emotions they expect to feel in the future" (Hafenbrack, 2013)... .... middle of paper ...... according to Dr. Jonathan Schooler, of the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California at Santa Barbara, "Mind wandering appears to be very useful for planning and creative thinking" ( Gargiulo, 2013). Furthermore, Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman (professor of psychology at New York University) said that problem solving, creativity, goal-oriented thinking, future planning, seeing another person's perspective need a space in our brain to manifest itself. In support, in the article The Costs and Benefits of Mind-Wandering: A Review, a study was conducted that reveals the crucial role of mind-wandering in problem solving, planning, creativity (Mooneyham, 2013). In this article the author asks himself whether mind wandering is the real cause of the big mistakes we make. It is clear that phenomena such as mind wandering deserve deeper analysis and study.
