Mindapples research and methodology

The Mindapples concept and process have been developed through integrating extensive research from many disciplines, including psychology, cognitive neuroscience, learning theory, behavioural science and action research, in a way that is simple, enjoyable and effective.

The science of wellbeing suggests that the health of our minds is more connected to our everyday activities than was previously thought. The core Mindapples self-observation process triggers an ongoing self-awareness cycle. This personal learning process enhances people’s ability to pay attention to the fluctuations in their overall physiology, encouraging them to manage their day-to-day activities in a highly individual way, that supports self-regulation for emotional and physical wellbeing – by their own design and direction.

This process is supported by our concept of a ‘mindapple’ – a simple everyday activity that is good for your mind – and our use of the “5-a-day for your mind” hook to explain the concept quickly and help individuals see the connection between what they do, and how they feel.

We need partners to work with us to evaluate the impact of the Mindapples process on individuals and communities. Get involved in trialling our tailored services or, to discuss our research in general, please contact Tessy Britton on tessy[at]mindapples.org.
