A web-based mindfulness intervention with five short sessions (5–10 minutes each) was designed to holistically improve lifestyle habits. In 32 participants who completed the 12-week program, decreases in negative affect, anxiety, and emotional distress were observed, along with an increase in dispositional mindfulness. However, no effect was found on reported healthy eating or physical activity habits. Few participants repeated the exercises as recommended. Most participants were new to mindfulness and reported satisfaction with the sessions, though one session on resisting unhealthy foods was considered too strict by a third of participants, suggesting a need for reformulation.
