What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is all about intentionally focusing your attention on the present moment. Taking time to reflect on the here and now. It’s important in the fast-paced, ever-changing world to take a moment, breath, and just be in the moment. It can help us become more aware of what is going on for us internally and externally.
Why be mindful?
Mindfulness practices can help us to increase our ability to regulate emotions, decrease stress, anxiety and depression. It can also help us to focus our attention, as well as to observe our thoughts and feelings without judgment. As we become more present in our lives and in relation to others, it can help us to make better decisions, to manage our emotions and to be more fully engaged in life.
