How do I clock my points by check-in my wellbeing?
How do you ensure this is a fair competition without cheating?
Mindfulness is not meant to be competitive. Again, the challenge respects the non-striving nature of mindfulness. However, there is no foolproof solution for human creativity. That being said, the vendor (MindFi) has timestamp-based checks on completed sessions for all 4 modes in the mobile apps. We will conduct weekly checks and also audit final results before prize announcements. In the event of detection of any unusual behaviour, MindFi reserves the right to suspend accounts and reset or modify scores of anyone who is deemed to have engaged in manipulative scoring practices such as (and not limited to): Using one account on multiple devices, and not following the proper usage of the app in line with our .

What has mindfulness to do with happiness?
Fun Fact!!
Column 2
Harvard researcher Matt Killingsworth created an app in attempts to answer the question “what makes us happy?” once and for all, and the results have been an eye-opener. According to Mr. Killingworth’s data, we’re happiest when we are mindful of the moment, and we’re least happy when the mind is wandering. More details can be found in the article "Dear TED: "How can I be happier at work" .
Another very insightful article "Using Mindfulness to Create Real Happiness at Work" from an esteemed mindfulness researcher Sharon Salzberg can also let you know more about it.

There's science behind mindfulness
Is there such a thing???
Column 2
YES, THERE IS!
There has been almost 30 years of global research in mindfulness that was initiated around a secular, research-based mindfulness program, which was first developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in the 1970s by Professor Jon Kabat Zinn. At Harvard, researchers have found significant increases in the density of brain matter attributed to mindfulness. More research has also been done at top universities such as Oxford and Stanford.
At MindFi, we are also committed to supporting research efforts in partnership with Singapore General Hospital and Duke-NUS Medical School.

Practicing Mindfulness
But how do I practice mindfulness?
Column 2
There are 2 main methods to practise mindfulness - with closed eyes (formal) or with opened eyes (informal). If you think you will fall asleep once your eyes are closed, try the informal method. In the app, there are formal methods that are usually longer at 10 minutes each while informal methods are 3 to 5 minutes (as long as your favorite song). There are over 1000 minutes of audio-guided mindfulness tracks in the apps with categories based on different moods, activities such as walking, eating or even sky-watching! In other words - be creative and find your own style!

For how long?
How long should I practice mindfulness?
Column 2
The short answer is that consistency (of practice) is more important than duration (per practice).
Various studies recommend 20 minutes of mindfulness meditation daily to enhance brain functions and overall physical and mental health. However, you have to consistently monitor yourself to decide what is best for you. A short 3 minute session may make you more focused than a 15 minute one or vice versa, there is no one correct duration for everybody. The key here is that any amount of meditation is better than none. Remember to do it every day, even if only for 5 minutes. (Source - "How long should I meditate?" by Mindworks)
