Participating in an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program increases both time affluence and subjective well-being compared to a physically exercising control group. The effect of increased mindfulness on well-being is partially explained by a rise in perceived time affluence, suggesting that feeling less time pressure is one mechanism through which mindfulness boosts well-being. This is the first longitudinal study to show that practicing mindfulness can change how much time affluence people experience.
