Abstract:
Impaired executive function and self-regulation are associated with prefrontal cortex dysfunction, contributing to impulsive behaviors, anxiety, and poor long-term planning. This study examines the effects of Mindfitness, an eight-week intervention combining cognitive training and mindfulness, on improving self-regulation and behavioral control. A total of 100 participants aged between 25 and 55 completed the program, with results demonstrating a 35% reduction in impulsive spending, a 36% decrease in anxiety, and a 30% increase in goal-directed behavior. These findings suggest that Mindfitness is an effective, neuroscience-based intervention for fostering sustained self-regulation and cognitive resilience. Future research should explore neuroimaging validation using Electroencephalography (EEG) and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to objectively assess the PreFrontal Cortex (PFC) structural changes, longitudinal studies to determine the persistence of behavioral improvements, and adaptations for clinical populations to expand its applicability in therapeutic and coaching settings.
