Abstract

The study explores how yoga-based practices (YBP) can enhance self-management by promoting equanimity and reducing mind wandering, helping individuals handle challenging goals effectively. We conducted two studies to assess the impact of YBP on goal difficulty, with equanimity and mind wandering as key factors. The results demonstrate that YBP significantly enhances equanimity and reduces mind wandering, highlighting their potential as sustainable tools for managing goal-related challenges. This research underscores the importance of integrating contemplative practices into management education and contributes to the fields of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) and Management, Spirituality, and Religion (MSR).

期刊介绍： IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
