The article discusses the common perception of fidgeting as an undesirable behavior in settings like yoga, where stillness is valued. It highlights recent research that redefines fidgeting as an evolutionary driven mechanism that can actually serve as a healthy coping strategy. Prominent findings by Dr. James Levine emphasize that fidgeting aids in focus and can lead to enhanced happiness and well-being. This perspective challenges the stigma around fidgeting, suggesting it may be beneficial rather than counterproductive in environments that demand stillness and concentration.
In yoga, stillness and calm are emphasized, yet recent studies indicate that fidgeting may play an important role in self-regulation and stress reduction.
Fidgeting, long considered a negative behavior, is now seen as a natural coping mechanism that can enhance focus and promote mental well-being.
