How can mindfulness help you learn faster and more effectively? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindfulness is central to life and learning. Being mindful as you study or train can supercharge your learning by helping you to comprehend information faster, encode it deeper, and retain it for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how mindful learning can help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/master-a-skill\/\">master skills<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-presence-is-central-to-life-and-learning\"><strong>Presence Is Central to Life and Learning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindful learning means being intensely present as you learn. When you are deeply present, your attention is singularly focused on the task at hand, muting everything else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Waitzkin\u2019s emphasis on presence evokes <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-power-of-now\">Eckhart Tolle\u2019s perspective in <em>The Power of Now<\/em><\/a>, where Tolle argues that living intensely \u201cin the here and now\u201d is the only path to true fulfillment. While the two approach life differently\u2014Waitzkin with an intense, single-minded focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/keep-learning-keep-growing\/\">learning and growth<\/a> and Tolle with an emphasis on healing, joy, and spiritual enlightenment\u2014presence seems to uplift and aid both of them. This suggests that presence is a flexible tool for each individual to find and explore their own path toward fulfillment.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>The Art of Learning<\/em>, Josh Waitzkin gives <strong>two key reasons <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/importance-of-presence\/\">presence is important<\/a><\/strong> in life and competition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-presence-equips-you-to-navigate-the-turbulence-of-life\"><strong>#1: Presence Equips You to Navigate the Turbulence of Life&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The world is unpredictable. Distractions and discomfort, Waitzkin says, often crop up without warning. If you want to be great at anything, you have to learn to navigate these obstacles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presence\u2014a calm, focused mind\u2014helps you handle tension, whether it\u2019s physical, mental, or emotional<\/strong>. Though Waitzkin doesn\u2019t explain specifically how, he suggests that presence is a key tool for focusing in distracting environments and overcoming emotional discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in soccer, a dishonest competitor might illegally trip you. It\u2019s reasonable to get angry at such behavior, but that doesn\u2019t help you perform. Instead, use presence to recenter and get back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: It\u2019s helpful to think of Waitzkin\u2019s notion of \u201cpresence\u201d as <em>mindfulness<\/em>. Recent research supports his claim that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyg.2020.01053\/full\">presence is a key tool for emotional regulation<\/a>. In short, practicing mindful presence develops your capacity for emotional nonreactivity\u2014the capacity to experience your emotions without allowing them to dictate your behavior\u2014by teaching you to find space between a stimulus and your reaction to it. This greater \u201ccognitive flexibility\u201d is useful in competition, as Waitzkin says, and throughout life.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-presence-is-the-key-to-competitive-success\"><strong>#2: Presence Is the Key to Competitive Success&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Being<\/strong> <strong>present helps you remain focused on the growth process and regain perspective when you lose<\/strong>. For example, Waitzkin recounts an early loss in his chess career that knocked him off balance. By separating himself from the game and being present within his life, he was able to return refreshed and reinspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a high level, a competitor\u2019s level of presence greatly affects their success. The margins are so slim at the top that deeper presence is a significant advantage\u2014namely, because it helps you reach a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/flow-state-complete-guide\/\">flow state<\/a>, or \u201cthe zone.\u201d If you can reach the zone under competitive pressure and your opponent can\u2019t, Waitzkin says, you\u2019re going to win.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Competitive success at any level requires that you regulate your emotions and show up fully. Both of these depend on presence<\/strong>, which helps you calm emotional turbulence as well as reach and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/maintaining-focus\/\">maintain focus<\/a>. Waitzkin says when he lost presence in competition, opponents took advantage of his turbulent emotions and lack of focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/hockey\/nhl\/mindfulness-training-quietly-gives-elite-athletes-edge\/\">Mindfulness plays a huge role in modern athletic training<\/a>. Athletes like Derek Jeter, Kobe Bryant, and tennis champ Bianca Andreescu (who defeated Serena Williams) all cite presence as key to their success. Amy Saltzmann, a mindfulness coach who works with athletes, suggests that mindfulness training could even help amateur athletes to climb the ranks faster: Since mindfulness hasn\u2019t fully permeated professional athletics, those who start practicing it while young can gain a mental and emotional advantage over their competition.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you practice mindfulness?
