Mindfulness Survey

Ask yourself these questions to determine if mindfulness is for you…

  1. Do I have sleep issues (falling or staying asleep, grinding teeth, and/or waking up still tired)?

  2. Do I experience frequent illnesses, colds, headaches, other chronic pain?

  3. Do I often feel nervous or anxious, even with no obvious reason?

  4. Do I notice chronic tension in my body (shoulders, jaw, etc.)?

  5. Do I often feel the need to multi task?

  6. Do I frequently feel physically and/or mentally exhausted?

  7. Do I frequently feel like I do not (or cannot) respond to myself or others as I’d like to?

  8. Do I feel disconnected to my body and its cues- living on “autopilot” and doing things just because it is time to (eat, sleep, etc.)?

  9. Do I often engage in unhealthy coping mechanisms (overindulgence in screens, exercise, food, alcohol, sex/porn, shopping, etc.)?

  10. Do I have a low sense of accomplishment in my life and work (I “should” do more/earn more, etc., but I cannot keep up with my own life)?

  11. Do I often avoid commitments and interactions with family and friends in and outside of work?

  12. Do my bathroom habits often surprise me (constipation/diarrhea)?

  13. Do I often use the stress of my job or life to justify negative or harmful behaviors toward myself or others?
