Mindfulness

Here and now, being in the present moment.

Mindfulness, is when your mind is paying undivided attention to 1 thing at a given time. Very often your mind wavers, jumps between topics and at times spirals to a negative space. A wondering mind often causes you to experience feelings of sadness or nervousness as you tend to think about the pain of the past or the fear of the future. But the truth is neither the past nor future is within your control, thus thinking about it is futile.

The only thing you can truly control is the present, and that is exactly where your mind should be. Mindfulness is a basic human ability to be aware of where we are, what we are doing and how we are doing it. It allows you to be calm and not reactive or overwhelmed by our surroundings.

This useful technique can be practiced anywhere and everywhere! and has proven benefits for emotional health!
